Sunanda Pushkar case: HC sends notice to Tharoor

December 01, 2022 12:20

The Delhi Police moves the high court against the discharge of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor in the Sunanda Pushkar death case.

The Patiala House Court in a judgement passed on August 18, 2021, had discharged Tharoor in connection with his wife's death.

The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to Tharoor on an application moved by the Delhi Police seeking 'condonation of delay' in filing the revision petition. Court fixed the matter for February 7, 2023

Senior Advocate Vikas Pahwa, appearing for Shashi Tharoor, apprised the court that during the course of trial, various orders were passed by the lower courts and HC, where the records of this case must not be shared with anyone.

Shashi Tharoor was cleared of all charges by a Delhi court on August 18, 2021 of charges linked to the death of his wife Sunanda Pushkar.

Tharoor then issued a statement, saying, "Most grateful, your honour. It's been seven-and-half years of absolute torture. I really appreciate it.

He said that his family would finally mourn Sunanda Pushkar in peace. "This brings a significant conclusion to the long nightmare which had enveloped me after the tragic passing of my late wife Sunanda. I have weathered dozens of unfounded accusations and media vilification patiently, sustained my faith in the judiciary, which today stands vindicated," he wrote.
