The complaint with respect to PM Modi was, thus, dismissed at the threshold for being ‘untenable’. It was also held as being devoid of merit and based on non-tangible material.
The Lokpal, therefore, dismissed the complaint which also sought a probe against Gandhi, unknown tempo owners, and the two industrialists.
“The case made out in the complaint against these persons is founded on unreal and unverifiable facts about their complicity in commission of an offence of corruption,” it observed.
It was made clear that the Lokpal, without being fixated by technicalities, would not otherwise ‘hesitate to proceed against all such persons who are prime facie involved’ in corruption, regardless of their position.
