HC notice to CBI on bail pleas of Kanimozhi, 4 others

CBI to reply on the bail pleas by December 1

PTI | November 9, 2011



The Delhi High Court today sought CBI's response on the bail pleas of DMK MP Kanimozhi and four others arrested for their alleged roles in the 2G spectrum allocation case.

Issuing notice to the CBI, Justice V K Shali sought the probe agency's reply on the bail pleas of the five accused by December 1.

Besides Kanimozhi, the four others who have moved the high court against a special court order denying them bail on November 3, are DMK-run Kalaignar TV MD Sharad Kumar, Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd directors Asif Balwa and Rajeev Agarwal and Bollywood producer Karim Morani.

Appearing for Kanimozhi, senior advocate Altaf Ahmed contended before the bench that the trial court has ignored the CBI's willingness to allow bail to the five accused.

Senior advocate Mohan Parasaran, appearing for CBI, again told the court that it has no objection to the bail.

"We reiterate the stand taken before the trial court.

There is no deviation from that," the senior lawyer said.

The response of CBI counsel came after Justice Shali asked CBI if there was any change in the stand taken by the agency on the bail pleas before the trial court.

DMK supremo Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi has been in Tihar Jail since her arrest on May 20. She was denied bail by the trial court. .
