New Delhi, Nov 16 The Supreme Court Monday dismissed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's plea challenging an Allahabad High Court decision to entertain a lawsuit seeking revival of a corruption case in the multi-crore Taj Heritage Corridor scam.

A bench of Justice V. S. Sirpurkar and Justice B. Sudershan Reddy dismissed Mayawati's plea saying that the apex court cannot stop high courts from entertaining lawsuits.

"High courts across the country admit thousands of petitions every day. Can the Supreme Court start interfering with the high court's orders at the stage of admission itself," asked the bench. (IANS)
