A Delhi court today reserved its order on the bail plea of Cineyug Films Director Karim Morani, an accused in the 2G spectrum case.
“Put up for order for May 30,” Special CBI Judge Mr O.P. Saini said.
During the arguments on bail, CBI prosecutor Mr A.K. Singh said that Mr Morani facilitated the transaction of Rs 200 crore from DB Realty to Kalaignar TV, in which DMK MP Ms Kanimozhi holds 20 per cent stake.
The CBI said Mr Morani took Rs six crore for facilitating this Rs 200-crore transaction.
Senior Advocate Mr Sidharth Luthra, appearing for Mr Morani, submitted that the CBI should not oppose the bail plea of his client as they had not arrested him during the investigation of the case.
He said that Mr Morani has no links with the public servants who are among the accused in the case.
Mr Morani had filed his regular bail plea on May 24 after the court had denied anticipatory bail and directed him to appear before it.
CBI, in its second charge sheet in 2G case, had alleged that Swan Telecom and Dynamix Realty Promoters Mr Shahid Usman Balwa and Mr Vinod Goenka channelled Rs 200 crore to DMK-run Kalaignar TV through Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd and Cineyug Films Pvt Ltd.
The court had earlier dismissed Mr Morani’s anticipatory bail plea on medical ground, saying that as per May 19 reports received from the department of Cardiology and Neurosurgery of Mumbai’s J J Hospital, his condition is “stable and normal’’.
