Hindujas allowed to stay abroad

By Our Legal Correspondent

NEW DELHI July 28. The Supreme Court today permitted the three Hinduja brothers — G.P. Hinduja, P.P. Hinduja and S.P. Hinduja — to go abroad together and stay there till August 27, when the trial in the Rs. 64-crore Bofors pay-off case is slated to begin.

A Bench, comprising Justice M.B. Shah and Justice A.R. Lakshmanan, thereby extended the court's earlier order when the brothers were allowed to remain abroad till July 15.

The Bench, which had observed last week that it would request the trial court to speed up the trial, kept the matter pending and adjourned the hearing on the application of the Hindujas to August 29. Initially, the proceedings were stayed by the apex court. But last month, it directed commencement of trial by setting aside a Delhi High Court judgment quashing he charge-sheet against the brothers. The trial court then fixed August 27 for the trial.
