Shanti Bhushan refuses to comment on CD controversy

LUCKNOW: Eminent lawyer Shanti Bhushan today refused to comment on the CD controversy which has led to a certain section demand his resignation from the joint committee to draft the Lokpal Bill.

"I do not want to give any interview. I don't want to talk (on the issue)," Bhushan said when reporters asked him for comments on the CD controversy.

The co-chairman of the joint drafting committee of the Lokpal Bill arrived here to contest a case of Noida Power Company at the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court.

The case was lodged in 2008. He was present during the one-and-a-half hour hearing by Justices Uma Nath Singh and Satish Chandra, who fixed May 12 as the next date for hearing.

The former law minister also went to meet members of Awadh Bar Association on its request.
