The case stems from the Bofors scandal involving the Rs 1,437 crore howitzer gun deal signed between India and Swedish arms manufacturer Bofors in 1986<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea challenging the Delhi High Court\u2019s 2005 decision that had quashed criminal proceedings against the Hinduja brothers in the Bofors payoff case, effectively bringing an end to the long-pending appeal filed by advocate Ajay K Agrawal.A bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and Vinod K Chandran refused to adjourn the matter and declined to entertain further submissions during the hearing.The petitioner, appearing virtually, sought four weeks\u2019 time to delete the names of respondents who had died. \u201cI\u2019m seeking four weeks\u2019 time for deletion of the names, as respondent nos. 1 and 4 have expired,\u201d the advocate told the court.Justice Pardiwala questioned the continued pendency of the matter and remarked, \u201cWhat is all this about the Hinduja brothers and the CBI?\u201dWhen informed that the Delhi High Court had exonerated the accused and quashed the proceedings, Justice Pardiwala said, \u201cAll proceedings were quashed. What is this? How many years have passed?\u201dThe petitioner responded that \u201cThe deal occurred in 1986.\u201dAs another counsel attempted to make submissions, Justice Pardiwala made it clear that the court would not postpone the matter. \u201cNo question of adjournment. It is a 2018 matter,\u201d he said.Counsel appearing in the case argued that a separate appeal filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation had earlier been dismissed by the Supreme Court on the ground that the agency was already a respondent in the present petition and could raise all its arguments here.<\/p>\n
