NEW DELHI: DMK MP Kanimozhi along with three other accused in the 2G scam moved the Delhi High Court for bail on Saturday. Kanimozhi has been lodged in the high-security Tihar jail since May 20 and the trial court had recently denied bail to her, despite the CBI not opposing her bail plea. The bail applications of three others — Sharad Kumar, Kalaignar TV MD, and Asif Balwa and Rajiv Agarwal, Directors of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Private Limited — were also rejected by the trial court. Now all have moved the court for bail again.On Thursday, CBI Special Judge O P Saini had denied bail to Kanimozhi saying the charges against her were grave and that the CBI’s stand on her bail plea was of no consequence in the eyes of the law. He said being a woman or mother was of no consequence as Kanimozhi belongs to the higher strata of society.The judge also did not attach credence to the arguments of the counsel appearing for the defendants that they should be enlarged on bail as no fear of influencing the witnesses existed. Denying bail, the judge said the case was of an unprecedented nature, which suggested that the witnesses would be very much under pressure.
