Supreme Court Dismisses Kanimozhi's Bail Plea

DMK MP Kanimozhi’s hopes of winning freedom from jail in the 2G spectrum allocation scam were dashed today as the Supreme Court dismissed her bail plea along with that of co-accused Kalaignar TV managing Director Sharad Kumar.

Rejecting their pleas, a special bench of justices G S Singhvi and B S Chauhan, however, left a window of hope for them saying that they can approach the trial court for regular bail after the framing of charges against them in the scam.

Today’s stipulation by the apex court virtually puts a bar on grant of bail not only to her but also to the other high-profile accused, including former Telecom Minister A Raja and several senior corporate executives, till the framing of charges in the case, which may take a few months.
