New Delhi, Sept 20: CBI today said it is still to peruse the Rae Bareli court`s "voluminous" order discharging Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani in the Babri Masjid demolition case and could decide on appealing against it only after studying the verdict.
"We are still to study the court`s order which I have learnt is quite voluminous, hence I can`t make any comment on what our stance is going to be,” CBI director P C Sharma told reporters on being asked whether the agency was planning to challenge the verdict of discharge.
Denying the allegations of "laxity" in preparation of the chargesheet, he said, "this is a baseless allegation. At no point of time the chargesheet was tampered with or diluted."
When asked as to how seven persons were charged while one has been discharged given the similarity of evidence and charges, Sharma quipped that this query must be put to the court concerned.
He was speaking on the sidelines of the passing out parade of 41 sub-inspectors.
