Mizoram ex-governor to appear in Rajasthan court

An additional district judge (ADJ) court ordered former Mizoram governor Kamla Beniwal to appear for hearing in a 2012-case.
ADJ Court-4 judge Rajesh Sharma dismissed a revision petition challenging an order of a magistrate taking cognizance for offences of forgery, fraud and usurping of government land in Jaipur.
In addition to Mizoram, Beniwal has served as governor of Tripura and Gujarat between 2009 and 2014.
The case against her pertains to 384 bighas of government land allotted to one Kisan Samuhik Krishi Sahkari Samiti Limited at a cost of Rs 25 per acre.
The society got the land on a 20-year-lease, which was later extended to 25 years.
