Uttar Pradesh’s Rampur court has ordered to combine a dozen cases against Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan into one.
Advocate Zubair Ahmed Khan stated, “These cases were being heard in the MP-MLA court of Sessions Judge Vijay Kumar. The court has accepted our plea and ordered us to combine them into one case.”
Ahmed stated that the cases originated in 2019 were related to encroachment over a waqf property, theft of cattle and other belongings of people living on the property, and their forced eviction.
Furthermore, the local police have filed a charge sheet in all these cases.
The lawyer stated that more than 90 cases were lodged against Azam Khan in 2019 & 2020. Of these, at least 40 cases are still sub judice.
Previously, the SP leader was convicted last year in a case of fake birth certificate and sent to Sitapaur jail, where he is still lodged.
