NEW DELHI: Supreme Court Friday refused to entertain a PIL seeking a probe into allegations made by US-based short-seller Viceroy Research LLC against Vedanta Limited, Hindustan Zinc Limited and related entities. A bench of Justices P S Narasimha and A S Chandurkar said that it was not inclined to entertain the matter and a PIL petitioner thereafter withdrew the petition.
