Bofors case: SC dismisses plea on Hindujas

The SC turns down an application seeking stay against Delhi HC order discharging the Hindujas in the Bofors case, reports Satya Prakash.

The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed an application seeking stay against a Delhi High Court order discharging Europe-based three Hinduja brothers in the Rs 64 crore Bofors pay-off case.

A Bench headed by Justice HK Sema dismissed the petition terming it as misconceived.

Petitioners - Raj Kumar Pandey and Ajay Agarwal - wanted the court to stay the High Court order and order resumption of trial of the Hinduja brothers - Srichand, Gopichand and Prakashchand - in the case.

However, the main Special Leave Petition challenging the May 31, 2005 order of the Delhi High Court is still pending in the apex court.
