CWG Scam : HC Issues Notice To CBI On Kalmadi's Bail Plea

New Delhi, Nov 30: The Delhi High Court today sought the CBI’s response on the bail plea of sacked CWG Organising Committee chief Suresh Kalmadi in a Games-related scam case, who cited the Supreme Court ruling that bail should be the rule and jail an exception.

Justice Mukta Gupta issued notice to the probe agency and sought its reply on Kalmadi’s bail plea by January 6. Kalmadi’s counsel sought bail, claiming that his custody is no more required in the case as the CBI on November 3 has informed the trial court that investigation is complete.

Senior counsel Sushil Kumar, appearing for Kalmadi, said that his client is in custody since April 26 and charge sheet has also been filed. He said the trial would take a long time as a foreign firm, Swiss Timing Omega, is also an accused in the case and it has not yet appeared before the court.
