Foreign funding to Cong, BJP: PIL transferred to another bench

January 29, 2014 19:19

The Delhi high court today transferred to another bench the PIL seeking a probe against the Congress and the BJP, alleging that they received funding from UK-based firm Vedanta Resources in violation of various laws.

"We are sending the matter to other bench which is hearing a similar case (a PIL on foreign funding of Aam Aadmi Party)," a bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana said.

The PIL, which also seeks confiscation of funds allegedly received from abroad by the two parties in violation of Indian laws, will now be listed before a bench headed by Justice Pradeep Nandrajog on February 5 which will also hear another PIL against AAP's funding on the same day.
