New Delhi
The Delhi High Court Tuesday dismissed a plea seeking cancellation of Shashi Tharoor’s anticipatory bail granted by a trial court in the Sunanda Pushkar death case.

A Bench of Justice RK Gauba dismissed the plea filed by lawyer Deepak Anand challenging the Congress MP’s move to bypass a magisterial court and directly approach a sessions court for anticipatory bail in the death case of his wife Sunanda Pushkar.

On September 25, the Delhi Police partly supported the plea where Delhi Police’s Standing Counsel Rahul Mehra informed the High Court that Tharoor ought to have first gone to the magisterial court that had summoned him as an accused, to seek bail. The Delhi Police had also filed a status report in the matter.
