The Delhi High Court today sought the Union government's stand on a contempt plea alleging Centre of taking no action against political parties violating foreign funding norms despite a court order.<br/><br/>Justice Manmohan issued notice to the Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), seeking response on whether action will be taken against them under the older Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) or the newer one of 2010.<br/><br/>The High Court on March 28, 2014, held that BJP and Congress had prima facie violated the foreign funding law by receiving donations from UK-based Vedanta Resources' subsidiaries. It had directed the Centre and Election Commission of India to take appropriate action against the parties within six months.<br/><br/>Both political parties had challenged the verdict in the Supreme Court filing Special Leave Petitions or SLPs which were withdrawn in November last year.<br/><br/>The contempt plea by an NGO, has contended that after withdrawal of the SLPs, the high court's judgment has attained finality, but the government has not taken any action. The next hearing of the case is on July 20.
