A bench of justices Aftab Alam and R M Lodha regretted that a middleman of the cheapest kind was allowed to derail Parliamentary proceedings. The bench perused the preliminary report of Delhi Police which had claimed that no political leader was involved in the 2008 scam.
“It is so disgusting that a middle man of the cheapest kind had been allowed to interfere with Parliamentary proceedings and he had succeeded,” the bench observed.
Declining to grant 40 days time sought by Delhi Police, the court asked it to submit a final report within three weeks.
Praising Delhi Police bench said that it could investigate the matter in a fair and free manner. “They are as good as any other investigating agency and will follow the law in letter and spirit,” the bench told Additional Solicitor General Haren Rawal.
