Ex-Bihar CMs cannot hold bungalows for lifetime: Patna HC

PATNA: In a fresh turn of developments, the Patna High Court on Tuesday ordered that all former Chief Ministers of Bihar will have to vacate the government bungalows allotted to them for the lifetime. The judicature issued this notice after taking suo-motu cognisance of a provision that allows former chief ministers to occupy their official bungalows for life. Speaking to ANI, Lalit Kishore, Advocate General, Bihar said, " Earlier there was a provision in Uttar Pradesh of accommodating former state CM but supreme court intervened and rejected it. On the basis of that judgement of the Supreme Court, Patna high court also rejected it."
