A Delhi court on Monday framed charges against fomer Samata Party President Jaya Jaitley and two others in an alleged corruption case of 2001 in connection to a defence deal.
Jaitley, her erstwhile party colleague Gopal Pacherwal and retired Major General SP Murgai appeared before special CBI Judge Kawal Jeet Arora who posted the matter for further proceedings from April 30th after framing the charges.
The court framed the charges against them for the offence of hatching criminal conspiracy under Section 120 B of Indian Penal Code and various other sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act dealing with taking gratification for exercise of personal influence with public servant.
The three accused pleaded not guilty and claimed to face trial in the case.
The case was registered on the basis of a sting conducted by newsportal tehelka.com in the year 2000, purportedly exposing alleged corruption in defence deals.
The CBI had submitted a charge sheet against Jaya Jaitley and two others in the year 2006.
