Singh appeared before the court here on Friday in connection with the Babri Masjid demolition case.
The court had earlier asked CBI to submit a report stating that Singh is no longer in an incumbent constitutional position. This had come after the CBI filed an application in the court seeking an order to produce him in court in the Babri Masjid demolition case. Singh was the chief minister of UP when the 16th century Babri Masjid was razed on December 6, 1992.
