Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court has framed charges against Congress MP Karti Chidambaram and others in the Chinese visa scam case, moving the matter into trial. The court has listed the case for its next hearing on 16 January.
The Supreme Court set aside a Patna High Court order that quashed a cheque dishonour complaint, holding that the High Court wrongly conducted a “roving enquiry” at the pre-trial stage. The apex court restored the complaint, saying a prima facie case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act was made out.
