NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to pass an interim order on a plea by Devyani Khobragade, former deputy consul-general of India in New York, seeking contempt action against her former housekeeper on whose complaint she was arrested by U.S. authorities on charges of visa fraud.
Khobragade, an Indian Foreign Service officer, was arrested on charges of making false declarations in a visa application for her maid, Sangeeta Richard, and later released on a $250,000 bond.
The issue escalated into a full-blown diplomatic row between the U.S. and India, which retaliated by downgrading the privileges of some U.S. diplomats, among other steps.
Justice A.K. Pathak refused to pass any interim order and instead listed the matter for hearing on August 7.
