Delhi: The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the appeal challenging acquittal of Hinduja brothers in Bofor’s case on Friday.
BJP leader Ajay K Agarwal has moved an appeal challenging a Delhi High Court order that acquitted the accused in the case.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud are likely to schedule the hearing in the last week of October.
India and the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors made a deal of Rs 1,437-crore for the supply of 400 155mm Howitzer guns for the Indian Army in 1986.
British media had claimed the next year that AB Bofors had bribed top Indian politicians and defense personnel over the deal.
