Sunanda Pushkar was found dead in her suite at a luxury hotel in Delhi on January 17, 2014.
Tharoor meanwhile issued a statementcalling the charges against him "preposterous and baseless, the product of a malicious and vindictive campaign against myself".
Tharoor's lawyer Vikas Pahwa told ANI they would ask for a copy of the charge sheet, and then decide a course of action.
"Since the Magistrate summoned Dr Shashi Tharoor for 7th July, we shall be asking for a copy of the charge-sheet, after going through it, we'll decide our further course of action. He will take all legal remedies available to him in law," ANI quoted Pahwa as saying.
"Since no offences are made out and the prosecution case is absurd and preposterous and is contrary to various judgments of SC, we shall take appropriate steps to deal with the charge-sheet," Pahwa added.
