New Delhi: The Supreme Court today refused bail to DMK MP Kanimozhi who was arrested on May 20 in connection with the 2G spectrum allotment scam. However, the Supreme Court today said she can go back to the special CBI court that's trying the 2G case, and apply for bail, under a provision that allows for "leniency for women, children and old people in matters of bail", after charges against her are framed.

Two courts - a special court set up to try the 2G scam and the Delhi High Court - have rejected bail for Kanimozhi in the last few weeks.
"We have heard learned counsel for the parties at length and perused the record of the case. In our view, the reasons assigned by the learned Special Judge and the learned Single Judge of the High Court for refusing to entertain the petitioners' prayer for bail do not suffer from any legal infirmity.
However, liberty is given to the petitioners to file fresh applications under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure before the Special Court after framing of the charges. In her application, petitioner no.2 shall be entitled to again invoke the provisions of Section 437 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
