Cash at judge’s door
Chandigarh, December 10 The CBI court held that the court could not fix limitations on any agency. The court also denied Ravinder’s request to conduct a videography of his interrogation. The petitioner had stated that the investigating agency had nothing to investigate on new lines. Thus, the business of Ravinder suffered as he sat for long in the CBI office. Thereafter, the court had sought for an investigating report till now. The CBI then submitted its reply, “The investigation of the case is now at a very crucial stage and presence of the accused petitioner at the CBI office is very essential to confront with other accused to find the truth and to elicit further information that Ravinder has not disclosed so far. Ravinder is avoiding the investigation by switching-off his cell phone and not cooperating, as directed by the court.” Meanwhile, another accused in the case, Sanjeev Bansal, has moved an application seeking release of documents seized by the CBI during investigation that was adjourned. The matter had surfaced after a packet containing Rs 15 lakh was delivered at the residence of High Court judge Nirmaljit Kaur on August 13. The police had registered a case and had initiated investigation into the matter. The case was later transferred to the CBI, as it involved the judiciary and leading lawyers.
