INDIA
It has expressed the apprehension that they would influence the witnesses and tamper with the evidence that's enumerated in the 80,000 page charge sheet filed in special judge OP Saini's court.
DMK chief Karunanidhi’s politician-cum-poetess daughter Kanimozhi who has been imprisoned in the Tihar jail for about a month for her alleged role in the 2G spectrum scam is facing uncertainty regarding getting bail.
CBI that is probing and prosecuting the politically and financially influential spectrum players including former telecom minister A Raja enjoy the protection of the top court.
In response to the plea for bail made by Kanzimohi and her TV Company Kalaignar’s managing director Sharad Kumar, the CBI on Friday told the Supreme Court that granting bail to them wouldn’t serve the cause of fair trial.
It has expressed the apprehension that they would influence the witnesses and tamper with the evidence that’s enumerated in the 80,000 page charge sheet filed in special judge OP Saini’s court.
While Kanimozhi has 20% stake in the TV company, her mother Dayalu Ammal holds 60% stake but she has been named as a witness in the country’s first ever biggest scam in which many who matter and called `big fish’ have been cooling their heels in the overcrowded jail.
Making a strong case against granting bail to Kanimozhi and Kumar, the CBI said they were the “key conspirators’’ and Rs200 crore transferred to the Kalaignar TV was part of the “bribe” amount and not a loan as claimed by their counsel.
Since investigation in the 2G case is at an advanced stage, it will not be proper for the court to let them out on bail.
Earlier, a bench of justices BS Chauhan and Swatanter Kumar, while issuing notice to CBI, had termed corruption as “the worst form of human rights violation”.
It had also sought a status report on the loss to the state exchequer due to the award of 13 licenses to one of the telecom operators and trial proceedings in the CBI special court.
Along with Kanimozhi and Kumar, DB realty boss Shahid Balwa is also accused of transmitting Rs200 crore to Kalaingar TV using a ‘circuitous’ route.
Kanimozhi had sought bail on the ground of being a woman. Before HC, she sought relief citing the need to look after her school-going child who is devoid of her care while his father is working abroad. In the top court she says there’s no evidence to prosecute her and said she’s innocent.
In the meanwhile, DMK arch rival AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa has issued a mandate to the Tamil Nadu state education board directing it to drop from the school curriculum all the poems penned by Kanimozhi.
Her father Karunanidhi, who lost to AIADMK and lost the chief ministership too, had showered all love on Kanimozhi by making students study her daughter’s poems.
