New Delhi: The Supreme Court has upheld the Delhi HC order acquitting former Congress leader Romesh Sharma in the case relating to the killing of fashion designer Kunjum Budhiraja.

A bench of Justices Pinaki Chandra Ghose and R.K. Agrawal dismissed an appeal filed by the Delhi government challenging HC order. The Delhi government, in its appeal, contended that the HC had erred in acquitting Sharma. Senior counsel Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Sharma submitted that his client was in love with Kunjum and there was no evidence to prove his involvement. He said the apex court should not interfere with the acquittal.
