Trial court rejects Hindujas' plea for quashing charge sheet

A Delhi court on Thursday rejected the Hinduja brothers' plea for quashing the CBI charge sheet against them in the Bofors payoff case on the ground of 'inordinate delay in the probe and trial'.

The Hinduja brothers - Srichand, Gopichand and Prakashchand - in their application filed on July 19 sought quashing of the CBI charge sheet against them saying the 'delayed probe and delayed trial' in the case was violative of their fundamental right to protection of life and personal liberty, which includes a speedy trial.

Special Judge Prem Kumar, who had reserved his order on August 24 after hearing lengthy arguments from the Hindujas and the CBI stretching over a month, will resume hearings from Monday.
