the bench told Swamy who said that it is a matter of public interest.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed that it took nearly one year for the Delhi Police to lodge FIR in the case and the post-mortem report said that Pushkar had died an unnatural death.<\/p>\n<p>The bench, however, asked him to argue on the issue of maintainability and and posted the matter for hearing after three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The Delhi High Court had on October 26, last year, rejected Swamy&#8217;s plea for a court-monitored SIT probe into Pushkar&#8217;s death and termed his PIL as a &#8220;textbook example of a political interest litigation&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Swamy, in his plea before the high court, had alleged that the police had &#8220;botched up&#8221;
