General KK Venugopal advised govt, CBi muct not file SLP

Attorney general KK Venugopal has "advised" the government that the CBI should not file a special leave petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court in a case related to the Bofors gun payoff as it is likely to be dismissed.

In a recent letter to the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Venguopal has said the investigating agency should present its stand in another similar case pending before the apex court in which it is also a party.

The CBI said it wanted to file an SLP challenging the Delhi High Court order of May 31, 2005, quashing all charges against Europe-based Hinduja brothers in the case.
