September 02, 2011 13:48

The Supreme Court today declined to entertain a plea challenging the August 16 arrest of Anna Hazare hours before he was to begin his fast demanding a
strong Lokpal.
A bench of justices P Sathasivam and B S Chauhan said it would not be proper for the court to entertain the PIL when none of the aggrieved persons were before the court. The bench said that it may not be proper for it to issue
any notice to the government as the issue preceding the arrest has been amicably resolved.
