DMK MP Kanimozhi on Wednesday moved the Supreme Court for speedy hearing of her petition seeking to quash charges framed against her by the trial court in the 2G spectrum case.
In a petition filed by advocate Joseph Aristotle, she said she was aggrieved by the Supreme Court stay order on all proceedings pending before the Delhi High Court (relating to quashing of charges) which had resulted in violation of her fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution.
The application for the stay order was moved by the CBI. A Bench headed by Justice G.S. Singhvi (since retired) later upheld the CBI’s action.

She said though a notice was issued to the CBI and others in January, the matter was yet to be heard. Continuance of the trial against her without any material basis would amount to abuse of the process of law and result in miscarriage of justice, she said.
