New Delhi, 5/4: The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain the plea filed by 14 political parties accusing the BJP-led central government of misusing central agencies like CBI and ED. The SC said it cannot lay down guidelines in abstract without factual context with a case.
As many as 14 opposition political parties led by the Congress had filed a plea in the Supreme Court alleging misuse of the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate in a selective and targeted manner with “a view to completely crush political dissent and upend the fundamental premises of a representative democracy”.
The parties sought the laying down of guidelines for governing the arrest, remand, and bail of persons in offences, not involving serious bodily harm, and excluding homicide, rape, terrorism etc.
