CBI on Friday opposed the plea of an advocate opposing withdrawal of the two-decade-old Bofors pay-off against Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi in a Delhi court, saying a private party has no locus standi in it.
"Publicity and politics" have no role to play in such matters and the plea of a private party against the CBI's move to close the case be rejected, the probe agency submitted before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kaveri Baweja.
A private party has no locus to stand in a matter between the court and the CBI and such a petition be turned down at the outset, it said.
CBI was responding to the application of advocate Ajay Agrawal who has challenged its move saying it was trying to close the "politically-sensitive" case despite having "sufficient evidence" against the 69-year-old Italian businessman.
Earlier, CBI's prosecutor U S Prasad had filed an application before the court seeking withdrawal of the case against Quattrocchi on the ground that "continuance of his prosecution will be unjustified."
