New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed a plea seeking the cancellation of Shashi Tharoor's anticipatory bail granted by a trial court in the case pertaining to the death of his wife, Sunanda Pushkar.
Justice R K Gauba rejected the petition filed by lawyer Deepak Anand challenging the Congress MP's move to bypass a magisterial court and directly approach a sessions court for anticipatory bail in the case.
The judge said he would give reasons for his
decision later.
The order came after the lawyer failed to convince the court that his plea was maintainable after it asked him to "show why should your plea be entertained". After hearing his arguments for several minutes, the judge asked the lawyer not to "beat around the bush" nor make "statements in the air" and thereafter dismissed
his plea. Agencies
