Court accepts LG appointed SPP

Delhi government on Monday got a jolt from a court which turned down its notification appointing a special public prosecutor (SPP) in the Rs 100-crore transport scam case, observing that the LG-appointed SPP would conduct proceedings in the matter. The court dismissed an application filed by advocate B S Joon who said being appointed by the AAP government, he was entitled to conduct prosecution of the case in which the ACB had filed charge sheet last week.
