New Delhi:
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will explain in the Supreme Court today its stand on the bail pleas of the accused arrested in the 2G spectrum scam case.
The agency will explain to the court why it is opposing the bail pleas of five corporate honchos, while it did not oppose the bail pleas of five other accused - including DMK MP Kanimozhi.
The court sought explanation on the different stands after senior advocate Ram Jethmalani, who is representing Unitech Wireless MD Sanjay Chandra, objected to the differentiation.
The Supreme Court will today resume hearing the bail pleas of the five executives - Unitech MD Sanjay Chandra, Swan Telecom Director Vinod Goenka and Reliance ADAG executives Hari Nair, Gautam Doshi and Surendra Pipara - who have applied for bail.
Earlier on October 24, the agency did not oppose the bail pleas of five other accused - DMK MP Kanimozhi, Kalaignar TV MD Sharath Kumar, directors of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Asif Balwa and Rajeev Agarwal and Bollywood producer Karim Morani - in special CBI court in Delhi. The trial court reserved its verdict on these bail petitions. It has fixed November 3 as the date for pronouncement of the order.
