Opposition parties claimed Friday that the two-decade-old Bofors arms scandal had been given a "political burial" by the Congress party and called on the Criminal Bureau of Investigation to take the case to the Supreme Court.

The Delhi high court on Tuesday dismissed charges of conspiracy to cheat the Indian government made against the Europe-based Hinduja brothers Srinchand, Gopichand and Prakash accused of involvement in the 1980s Bofors arms scandal.
