NEW DELHI, Sept 16:
A special court has issued bailable warrants against two CBI officers for not appearing before it to record evidence in a disproportionate assets case against INLD leader Ajay Chautala.
Special Judge Sanjay Garg-I also directed a CBI Joint Director to file an action taken report (ATR) on why summons issued to the agency officials in the case were not forwarded by its senior officers.
The court issued bailable warrants and the directions to the Joint Director after being annoyed with the absence of the two CBI officers, who were supposed to appear before it for recording of their deposition as prosecution witnesses.
The court was informed by the prosecutor that one of the officers was busy on official duty while the other was suffering from chikungunya. “I am not satisfied with the request as no formal request forwarded by senior official has been received in the court. Bailable warrant in the sum of Rs 5,000 with notice under CrPC be issued against them, for September 26,” the judge said. (PTI)
