SC rejects CBI plea to reopen Bofors case over delay of 4,500 days
The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed CBI's appeal against the Delhi High Court's 2005 verdict discharging the accused in the Bofors case. "We aren't convinced with the grounds furnished by the petitioner in explaining the inordinate delay of 4,522 days in filing this (appeal)," it observed. The High Court quashed charges against the Hinduja brothers in the â¹64-crore pay-off case.
