While refusing Sharma's plea to withdraw his PIL after it was dismissed, the court said it has expressed what it had to say.
However, the court made it clear that dismissal of Sharma's plea would not come in the way of those having locus to seek remedies in the light of recent revelations by Headley.
The court said this on the plea by the Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta.
