The bench said it is not going to pass any restraint order and Menon’s petition questioning the locus standi of Swamy will be decided after the parties are heard. Senior advocate Vikas Pahwa has moved the court on behalf of Menon in a pending petition filed by Swamy seeking probe in the death of Pushkar. Pushkar was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a suite of a five-star hotel in south Delhi here on the night of 17 January, 2014.
