Supreme Court dismisses appeal filed by CBI to reopen Bofors case

  •   Fri, Nov 02 2018 01:32:06 PM

New Delhi, Nov 2(PTI): The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed CBI's appeal against the Delhi High Court verdict discharging all the accused including Hinduja brothers in Rs 64 crore Bofors pay-off case.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said it was not convinced with the grounds of the CBI on the delay in filing the appeal.

The apex court, however, said that an appeal against the same HC verdict filed by advocate Ajay Agarwal is pending and the CBI can raise all grounds in it.

The Rs 1,437-crore deal between India and Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors for the supply of 400 units of 155-mm Howitzer guns for the Indian Army was entered into on March 24, 1986.

    By hook or by crook, the BJP wants to stop the investigation in the Rafael case.

    It is, therefore, pulling out all cards available with it to bring pressure on the Congress to stop the investigation.

    By all means, let the Bofors case also be re-opened. I don't hold a brief for the Congress but if there is any wrong doing by anybody in the Rafael case, no mercy should be shown as it amounts to a breach of trust the people placed in the Government.

    This should be a lesson to the future Prime Ministers not to play with the trust placed by the people. When countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka can get their Prime Ministers arrested for corruption, why shouldn't India also do the same thing, in case the courts find any wrong doing in the Rafael case and for that matter any case.

    Delay because BJP never thought that Rafale deal would be challenged by Congress. So, it dictated CBI to file appeal in SC.

    110 Crores earned by fighting Bofors case. He didn't have to be a FM at all if he did not need money. See where he brought the nation's finances. Losing seat at the center will make him jobless, not me.
