New Delhi : A special court hearing the cash-for-vote case Monday pulled up an accused for sporting sunglasses during the hearing.
Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal pulled up Sohail Hindustani, who sported sunglasses on his head as he entered the court room to attend the proceedings.
“Please remember you are sitting in a court of law and not in a market,” the judge told Hindustani, asking his counsel to keep him guided.
Judge Sehgal said: “I thought he would understand by my stare but he did not.”
The court meanwhile adjourned, for July 7, the hearing of former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Faggan Singh Kulaste’s plea requesting the court to direct the police to trace the money trail and other aspects of the case.
On July 22, 2008, some BJP MPs had waved wads of currency notes on the floor of Lok Sabha during the trust vote faced by the UPA-I government, claiming they were given the money to vote in favour of the government.
Former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh, Sudheendra Kulkarni, MP Ashok Argal, ex-BJP MPs Kulaste and Mahabir Singh Bhagora, along with Amar Singh’s former aide Sanjeev Saxena and Hindustani, an alleged BJP activist, are accused in the case.
