New Delhi, Aug 30: The Delhi High Court today dismissed the plea of sacked CWG Organising Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi, a Lok Sabha MP, seeking permission to attend the ongoing Parliament session.
“In view of the gravity of the offence and the allegation of huge magnitude, it would be totally inappropriate to grant him permission solely on the ground of freedom of speech inside the Parliament House, on the foundation that he has to meet the Constitutional obligation. The writ petition is dismissed,” the bench, comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Sanjiv Khanna, said.
The Congress Lok Sabha member from Pune had moved the division bench of the High Court challenging the order of its single-judge bench of Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw, who had rejected his plea for the permission dubbing it as “an attempt to get fresh air outside the prison”.
