NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to suspend the one-month sentence awarded to Maharashtra Transport Minister
Surupsingh Naik and the state's Additional Chief Secretary, Ashok Khot, who were held guilty of contempt of court on Wednesday.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Y K Sabharwal directed that the review petition along with an application for suspension of sentence shall be heard in the chamber before the summer vacation.

Senior Counsel Ranjit Kumar pleaded before the court that if his clients were arrested by the police as per orders of the court, the review petition which was being filed in this court would become infructuous.

The Supreme Court had sentenced Naik and Khot to one-month imprisonment for clandestinely giving licence for operation of six wood-based industries in 2004 despite a ban.

When the licence was granted for operating the sawmills by them, Naik was Environment and Forest Minister and Khot principal secretary in the ministry.
