Delhi HC rejects plea against India Against Corruption

Delhi High Court on Tuesday rejected a plea seeking a probe into the accounts of India Against Corruption, an anti-corruption movement spearheaded by Anna Hazare during 2011 and 2012, and rapped the petitioner for not informing the court about filing a similar petition in the name of an NGO run by him.

A plea was filed by activist Chand Jain seeking investigation into the alleged use of funds collected by the NGO for personal use.

A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar termed the petition as "misuse of legal process" and rapped Jain for not providing proper information about the charges.
