New Delhi: Delhi HC refused Wednesday to entertain a plea by Swedish academician Ashok Swain seeking to expunge certain observations made by a single judge while dealing with his petition against cancellation of his OCI card.
Swain, an India-born academician, moved court seeking removal of the judge's observation that it prima facie appeared that some of the tweets of petitioner contained "objectionable" insinuations and could be construed as undermining the constitutional apparatus and legitimacy of the Indian state itself. He feared the observation might be used as fresh grounds by authorities to deny him relief.
As the court was not inclined to entertain the appeal, Swain's counsel sought liberty to withdraw the plea, which was allowed. TNN
