Delhi HC refuses to entertain plea against Ambani, Tata in 2G case

The Delhi High Court has refused to entertain a petition seeking a direction to the CBI to make Reliance ADAG Chairman Mr Anil Ambani, Tata Group chief Mr Ratan Tata, corporate lobbyist Ms Niira Radia and DMK chief Mr M. Karunanidhi’s wife Ms Dayalu Ammal, as accused in 2G case.

“It is a rubbish petition. If I find that you (petitioner) have tried to interfere with the investigation then you may be in bigger trouble,” Mr Justice Ajit Bharihoke said.

“Either you withdraw your petition or argue at your own peril,” he said, forcing the petitioner Mr M. Furquan, a Delhi-based scribe, to withdraw his plea.

“The petition is dismissed as withdrawn,” Mr Justice Bharihoke said in his order.

During the brief hearing, the court refused to grant adjournment and asked the counsel for Mr Furquan to argue the case straight away.

It also did not grant the petitioner the liberty to approach “the Supreme Court or other judicial forum” with his plea to seek direction to the CBI for broadening the ambit of the ongoing probe in the 2G case.
