The Delhi High Court today dismissed a plea for a probe by the Bar Council of Delhi into the alleged CD row, purportedly involving senior advocate
and Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi. 

"The petition is dismissed. The lawyer's body are not empowered to take action against an employee of an advocate," a bench headed by Acting Chief Justice A K Sikri said.

The court's order came on a plea by a social worker, Sanjay Kumar, seeking an inqury into the CD row allegedly pertaining to Singhvi and a noted woman lawyer of the Delhi High Court. 

"Everybody on the street is saying what is happening in the high court. Just to save the image of lawyer's community, an inquiry be ordered," said the petitioner's counsel Sugriv Dubey. "Every employee of a lawyer... has to protect the privacy of an individual and in the preset case it was the duty of the person (Singhvi's driver) not to attack the individual's privacy," the PIL said. Refusing to entertain the plea, the bench said "such things cannot be a subject matter of a public interest litigation."
