New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday directed CBI to apprise it of the status of the probe in the alleged disproportionate assets case against SP leaders and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Ministers Mulayam Singh Yadav and his son Akhilesh.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Deepak Gupta rejected the vehement submission of the counsel for Yadavs that the notice to the CBI on the plea be kept at abeyance in the wake of the upcoming general elections.
