Dehradun, Uttarakhand: Minister Ganesh Joshi has been issued a notice by the Dehradun Vigilance Court in connection with a disproportionate assets case Complainant Pankaj Singh Kshetri says, "We noticed that Minister Ganesh Joshi's declared income was increasing significantly with every election. This prompted us to investigate further. When we examined all the land records and related documents, we found it surprising that in such a poor state, a minister's wealth was growing so rapidly, by hundreds of times over the years. We then looked into the sources of income that he himself had declared in his election affidavit. In those documents, he stated that his wife, children, and other family members were dependent on him..."

A Vigilance Court in Dehradun has issued a notice to Uttarakhand Minister Ganesh Joshi, directing him to appear and present his side on September 3, 2026. The court’s move has triggered political discussion ahead of the upcoming Uttarakhand Assembly elections. The notice, issued just months before the Assembly polls, has added a fresh political dimension to the case. The case came up for hearing on July 25 before the Court of the Special Judge (Vigilance) in Dehradun. During the proceedings, counsel representing the complainant, Pankaj Singh Kshetri, presented arguments before the court. Following the hearing, the court directed that a notice be issued to Ganesh Joshi under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The court observed that before passing any order, the respondent must be given a fair opportunity to present his case. Accordingly, the next hearing has been scheduled for September 3. The disproportionate assets case has been under legal scrutiny for the past several years. The complainant alleges that there is a significant discrepancy between Ganesh Joshi’s declared income and the assets allegedly in his possession, and has sought an impartial investigation into the matter. Based on this complaint, the case has been examined by the Vigilance authorities and is now before the court.
