The Supreme Court on Tuesday muffled its anger over media distorting its simple query about CBIs stand in the trial court on the bail pleas of Kanimozhi and four others in the 2G scam case and said the special CBI judge would decide the petitions ignoring the newspaper reports. A bench of Justices G S Singhvi and H L Dattu said,We express our serious anguish over the distorted and misleading versions of the proceedings reported in newspapers,which is most unfortunate and regrettable.There is also an attempt to tarnish the CBI. Someday,they will get into trouble. The reporting in the print media shall not influence the adjudication before the trial court.
Special CBI judge O P Saini had reserved verdict on the bail pleas of DMK MP Kanimozi,Kalaignar TV MD Sharad Kumar,directors of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Asif Balwa and Rajeev Agrawal and film producer Karim Morani and is likely to pronounce the order on November 3. Giving the clarification on CBIs stand on these five bail petitions,additional solicitor general Harin Raval told the bench that though the agency had not opposed their pleas,it had made it clear that the trial court had the inherent discretion in deciding whether or not to grant bail.The bench said no one could possibly question the discretion of the prosecuting agency and the special public prosecutor to make a submission before the trial court.As the bench also reserved its orders on the bail pleas of Unitech Wireless MD Sanjay Chandra,Swan Telecom MD Vinod Goenka and Reliance ADAG executives Gautam Doshi,Surendra Pipara and Hari Nair,Chandras counsel Ram Jethmalani made an unusual request to the court.
