Supreme Court Dismisses Final Appeal, Closing Bofors Case for Good

The Supreme Court of India has dismissed the last remaining appeal in the decades-long Bofors corruption case, bringing the legal battle to a definitive close.

The Central Bureau of Investigation's own appeal in the case had also been dismissed earlier.

With this final dismissal, all legal avenues in the prolonged case have now been exhausted.
