New Delhi : The Delhi High Court today dismissed a plea seeking a CBI probe into the funding of AAP in alleged violation of provisions of the FCRA, saying a complaint is already being probed by an agency.

A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw also declined a request for registration of a criminal case against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) and conducting day-to-day trials under high court supervision.

It also refused to look into the allegation of advocate M L Sharma through a PIL that the party, Kejriwal, Sisodia, former AAP members and advocate Shanti Bhushan and Prashant Bhushan were funded by the Central Intelligence Agency through companies and trusts.

AAP had termed the allegations against it as “baseless”.
