Former Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh and BJP leader L K Advani's former aide Sudheendra Kulkarni today failed to personally appear before a Delhi court in response to its summons for their alleged role in the 2008 cash-for-vote scam.
The Delhi Police has accused the two of hatching a conspiracy to bribe BJP MPs ahead of the 2008 confidence motion in Lok Sabha.
While Singh and Kulkarni moved the court of Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal seeking permission for exemption from personal appearance, former BJP MPs Faggan Singh Kulaste and Mahavir Singh Bhagora appeared in court for their alleged role in the 2008 scam and sought bail.
Singh's counsel sought the Rajya Sabha member's exemption from personal appearance on medical grounds. Counsel for Kulkarni sought exemption on the ground that he was currently in the US and had not receive court summons.
