# Supreme Court Ends Challenge to Hinduja Relief in Bofors Case 2026-08-06T22:40:06+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea challenging the Delhi High Court’s 2005 decision to quash criminal proceedings against the Hinduja brothers in the Bofors payoff case. A bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and Vinod K Chandran refused to adjourn the matter, which had been pending since 2018. The petitioner had sought four weeks to remove the names of respondents who had died. The case concerns the Rs 1,437 crore howitzer deal India signed with Swedish firm Bofors in 1986. The CBI had alleged that nearly Rs 64 crore was paid in kickbacks. The High Court’s decision now stands unchallenged. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Bofors case, CBI, Delhi High Court, Hinduja brothers, Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/supreme-court-ends-challenge-to-hinduja-relief-in-bofors-case/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
