NEW DELHI: Abusing the process of law by questioning investigating agencies and maligning the judiciary has cost a Non-resident Indian (NRI) Rs 20,000. The Delhi High Court order came on a plea of NRI NS Hoon seeking compensation of Rs 5,000 crore from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for allegedly implicating him in a criminal case. Hoon sought action against the erring officials of CBI for harassing him for 25 years but the court said that such petitions were nothing but a waste of precious judicial time and mockery of the legal process and ordered him to pay a fine. |
