2G scam: Law minister downplays granting of bail to corporate honchos

Law Minister Salman Khurshid Wednesday downplayed the bail granted to five corporate honchos in the 2G case, saying it was part of the legal process.

He also said that the world will have a greater faith and confidence in Indian judicial system as the trial proceeds and decisions are taken and reasons for them are given.

"It's a part of the legal process. People are investigated, chargesheets are filed...such matters take time to get complete," he said.

He said as and when courts feel that bail should be granted, they grant bail.

"I think, that is the only context in which we can see this order," he said.

Khurshid said as the matter proceeds and decisions are taken, courts give out reasons for such orders. He said when courts give order and cite reasons for it, "I am sure, the world will have greater faith and confidence in Indian judicial system."

He was asked to comment on his statement that denying bail to corporates could affect investments in the country.
