NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Saturday dismissed Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy's plea to prosecute home minister P Chidambaram in the 2G case.
Reacting to the verdict, Subramanian Swamysaid he was 'surprised' by the court's decision, but would now appeal against the decision in the high court.
Swamy had moved the court seeking to make Chidambaram as co-accused in the 2G spectrum scam alleging he was as culpable as former telecom minister A Raja in determining the prices of scarce spectrum and in allowing the dilution of shares.
The Supreme Court on Thursday had refused to direct CBI to investigate the alleged role of Chidambaram leaving it to the special court trying the 2G case.
A bench of justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly, which asked the lower court not to get influenced by its decision, had also refused to direct CBI to "investigate Chidambaram".
The special judge, on January 21, had reserved the order for February 4 on the plea of Swamy.
