Meanwhile, Subramanian Swamy said that if DP appeals against this Order in the High Court, then he will again seek to intervene.
In Sunanda Murder case the court has declined to frame charges. I had petitioned to be an intervenor but both the Accused and Prosecutor opposed my petition. Thus I was kept out. If DP appeals against this Order in the High Court, then I will again seek to intervene.
