‘Have sanction to prosecute Swamy’
NEW DELHI: The Delhi police told the high court on Tuesday that sanction had been obtained to prosecute Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy in an FIR registered against him for allegedly writing an “inflammatory” article in a Mumbai daily in 2011.
Delhi police’s counsel said a draft chargesheet is also ready in the matter and will be filed soon.
“Sanction has been obtained from the competent authority. A draft chargesheet has also been prepared which will be filed soon. Now, nothing remains in the matter. The petition has now become infructuous (render ineffective),” Delhi police submitted before the court.
Swamy had moved the high court seeking to quash the FIR on the ground that “whatever investigation had been done by the police till date, no material has been found which would cause communal disharmony in society ”.
