"I have not received any notice from Bhushan and even if I do, I will not reply to it," Singh said.

"Bhushan should be aware that sending legal notices does not serve any purpose," he said adding that the senior lawyer should file a case against him.

Bhushan had served a legal notice on the Congress leader demanding a public apology for levelling allegations against him on a property deal.

The notice was served through lawyer Kamini Jaiswal who asked Singh to publicly apologise for the "incorrect allegations" made by him against Bhushan.

A copy of the legal notice was also sent to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

Singh said that BJP President Nitin Gadkari too had sent him a legal notice, to which he had not replied.

"Following that the matter died its natural death," Singh said.
