18 May 2013 3:09 PM IST
The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice to the Delhi police on a plea by Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy seeking quashing of an FIR lodged against him for writing an 'inflammatory' article in a Mumbai daily in 2011.
Issuing notice to Delhi police, Justice Kailash Gambhir sought its response by 26 August on Swamy's plea for quashing of the FIR on the ground that 'whatever investigation has been done by the police in the past 21 months, no material has been found which would cause communal disharmony in society’.
The Crime Branch of Delhi police had filed a case against Swamy in October 2011 on a complaint from the National Commission for Minorities for writing in July 2011 the alleged inflammatory article which the complaint said was intended to spread communal enmity.
