Hindujas' plea

New Delhi May 6. In a new twist to the Rs. 64-crore Bofors pay-off case, the Hinduja brothers today moved the Delhi High Court for quashing of the CBI chargesheet against them contending it was illegal and unconstitutional because it did not have the prior approval of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC).

Taking cognisance of a petition filed by one of the three brothers, P.P. Hinduja, the court issued notices to the CBI and CVC directing them to file replies by May 14. The Court declined to stay trial proceedings by the Special Court till it decided on the petition after CBI counsel, N. Natarajan, said there was a Supreme Court direction for day-to-day trial in the case. — PTI
