NEW DELHI: BJP leader Subramanian Swamy today approached the Supreme against the order of an Assam trial court issuing a non-bailable warrant against him for failing to appear before it in a case of alleged hate speech.

The NBW was issued yesterday by a court in Karimganj which had issued summons to him on March 19 on a complaint accusing him of allegedly delivering an inflammatory address on March 15 at Kaziranga University. Swamy mentioned the case before a vacation bench of Justices P C Pant and Amitava Roy, which asked him to fulfil all procedures in the registry for hearing of the matter in due course.
