Dive into the politically charged Rs 64 crore bribery saga. Application in Supreme Court for early hearing in Bofors case, challenge to Delhi HC’s order.
In the politically sensitive Rs 64 crore Bofors bribery case, an appeal has been filed in the Supreme Court requesting an early hearing on a plea challenging the Delhi High Court’s 2005 ruling quashing all charges, including those against the Hinduja brothers.
In the application filed by advocate Ajay Aggarwal, it has been said that on November 2, 2018, the apex court rejected the CBI’s application against the decision of the High Court.
Supreme Court Urged for Expedited Hearing: However, the Supreme Court had also said that the investigating agency can raise all the grounds in the appeal filed by them against that decision.
The application states, approximately 16 years have passed since the applicant filed this case and 35 years have passed since the scam took place.
During this period, all the accused except the Hinduja brothers have died.
The petition said, there has been a recurrence of scams in the defense sector because the accused in this first scam i.e. Bofors case were not punished.
In the interest of justice, it would be appropriate that the case be heard expeditiously.
