The Supreme Court today sought a status report from the Union government on the action taken against Parliamentarians for allegedly attempting to bribe BJP MPs during the trust vote faced by the UPA government in July 2008.
A Bench of Justices Aftab Alam and R M Lodha sought the status report while issuing notices to the Centre and the city police commissioner on a PIL alleging inaction against the alleged offenders.
Senior counsel Rajiv Dhawan and counsel Prashant Kumar appeared for petitioner and former Chief Election Commissioner J M Lyngdoh.
In the PIL, Lyngdoh had sought directions to the government to set up an independent Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe in a time bound manner the 'cash-for-vote' scam during the trust vote faced by the UPA government in July 2008.
He also pleaded that the SIT chief should be given absolute powers and independence to choose the best officers to complete the probe in six months.
