In February 2012,a First Information Report (FIR) was registered with Husainganj Police Station Lucknow by the General Manager of the Uttar Pradesh Government recognized construction agency named Labour and Construction Co-operative Federation (LACCFED) alleging embezzlement by its management. Formed under the Co-operative department,LACCFED was entitled to undertake small construction/renovation work of different government departments not exceeding Rs 10 lakh per contract. The investigation into the case gained momentum after the Akhilesh Yadav's government came to power in March 2012 when the case was transferred to the co-operative cell of the U.P. Police. [19] Mishra's name came into light after this change of government and was first time inducted as an accused in the supplementary chargesheet in March 2013. [20] However,in February 2015,the Special Court Lucknow in the matter honorarily acquitted Mishra including three other former ministers while convicting seven others and summoning 14 more accused. The judge expressed serious dissatisfaction over the manner of investigation led by the investigating officer Aditya Prakash Gangwar and was astonished to see that the probe was conducted under influence and the investigators were biased for personal reasons. The court also questioned the manner of probe with regard to the seven acquitted accused and warned the investigators not to do such investigations in future. It directed to send the copy of the judgement to the principal secretary home for proper action in the matter. [21]
After the Akhilesh Yadav's government came to power in March 2012,Mishra was subject to another prosecution for having assets disproportionate to his known source of income. Mishra was accused by the Uttar Pradesh Vigilance Department that he amassed a wealth of more than four crores disproportionate to his known sources of income. [22] However,on 29 September 2021 on trial in the aforesaid case the Special Judge Allahabad honorarily acquitted Mishra observing that the investigating officer calculated most of the assets of Mishra acquired before the alleged check period. [23] [24]
In 2014,the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had registered a case of money laundering under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act,2002 (PMLA) on the basis of predicate offence in the Disproportionate Assets case. On being acquitted in the predicate offence on 29 September 2021,Mishra challenged the ED case in the Allahabad High Court Lucknow bench. On 18 May 2023 the court stayed the investigation of ED on the ground of its maintainability in light of three-judges bench ruling of the Supreme Court of India in Vijay Madanlal Choudhary vs Union Of India (27 July 2022). [25] On 19 September 2024,the ED filed the closure report before the High Court giving clean chit to Mishra,thus disposing of the case. [26]
