The apex Court today issued notices to Chennai-based Advantage Strategic Consulting
Private Ltd and its offshore sister concern on a plea of Janata Party President Dr. Subramanian Swamy seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against them for
filing a defamation suit in Singapore against him.
JP Chief Dr Subramanian Swamy had filed
contempt plea against the companies, including Advantage Strategic Singapore, which
had filed the defamation suit against Dr. Swamy for allegedly defaming them in judicial
proceedings related to 2G spectrum allocation scam case.
"We will issue notices to two companies to seek their responses...
returnable within 12 weeks," a bench of justices G S Singhvi and K S
Radhakrishnan said, moments after Swamy rose to advance his arguments on his
contempt petition.
Dr. Swamy’s plea was that the
companies had intentionally filed suits in Singapore to harass him and to make
him run around the world. This would actually prevent him from pursuing
corruption cases against P Chidambaram and his son.
PC and his son unnecessarily dragged you to court not knowing or studying your strengths. They have to face the music now. 2G will now stare at them more fiercely.
