Justice Rajnish Bhatnagar sought response from the Delhi drug control authority on the petition by Gautam Gambhir, his foundation and family members
The Delhi High Court today stayed the proceedings before a trial court against cricketer-turned-politician Gautam Gambhir, his foundation and others in a case related to the alleged illegal stocking and distribution of COVID-19 drugs.
Justice Rajnish Bhatnagar sought response from the Delhi drug control authority on the petition by Gautam Gambhir foundation, Mr Gambhir and his family members who are accused in the case, assailing the criminal complaint and the summoning order passed by the trial court in the case.
Listing the matter for further hearing on December 8, the judge said, "Till then the proceedings are stayed".
Drug Control Department has filed a complaint against the Member of Parliament from East Delhi, his foundation, its CEO Aprajita Singh, his mother and wife, Seema Gambhir and Natasha Gambhir, respectively -- who are both trustees in the foundation -- for offences under section 18(c) read with section 27(b)(ii) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act.
