No relief for Raja as court reserves order on his bail plea till May 15
TT Correspondent |  |  11 May 2012

The former telecom minister A Raja, the prime accused in the 2G spectrum allocation case could not get any relief on Friday as special CBI court reserved its order on his bail plea till May 15.

Raja, who has spent more than a year in the jail, had moved his bail application soon after former telecom secretary Siddharth Behura was granted bail by the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

                      

The special court had asked the CBI to file its response on his bail application on May 11.

 

Seeking parity with all other accused who had been granted bail in the 2G case, Raja had moved his bail application saying that the charges against him are false and fabricated.

 

"All the individual accused persons in this case, except the petitioner, have been released on bail. The petitioner is entitled to bail on the grounds of parity," Raja had said.

 

Raja is the only accused languishing in jail. All other accused including the corporate honchos, his private secretary RK Chandolia and the DMK leader Kanimozhi have already been granted bail.
