In the representation before the LG, Chaturvedi has alleged that the ASJ S C Malik has used "abusive and unparliamentary words and statements" against him, while granting bail to the accused in a case registered at the Gandhi Nagar police station.

The applicant is the brother of one late Alankar Chaturvedi, who was allegedly cheated by five people Ashok Bansal, Anil Bansal, Anurag Bansal, Brij Mohan Soni and Anil Saxena in connection with the sale of a plot on the Delhi-Jaipur highway. According to the representation, the accused sold the plot to Alankar, which belonged to people from SC and ST category and hence could not be sold.
