Sunanda probe: HC rejects Swamy's plea, calls it 'political interest litigation'

October 26, 2017 12:52

Delhi high court dismisses BJP leader Subramanian Swamy's plea seeking a probe into death of Sunanda Pushkar.

The court says it is left with distinct impression that this is perhaps a textbook example of "political interest litigation" being dressed up as PIL.

Court says Swamy appears to have concealed data or information which he should have disclosed at the first instance.

The central government and Delhi police tell high court that they don't subscribe to the view expressed by Swamy that the probe in the case has been influenced by Sunanda's husband Shashi Tharoor.

Courts need to be careful that judicial process is not used by political persons for their own purposes, says Delhi high court.
