A designated court today adjourned till March two the hearing of the cash-at-judge's-door case after CBI produced the entire record pertaining to the scam.
CBI special judge Darshan Singh fixed the next date of the hearing on March 2, 2010 after probe agency's counsel BP Singh submitted the entire record pertaining to the case in the court. The court had asked the concerned parties to examine the CBI record.
Anupam Gupta, counsel for the Punjab and Haryana Bar Association which had moved a petition against the probe agency's report, pleaded that the closure report filed by the CBI should be rejected as it failed to get sanction to launch prosecution against a judge from the competent authority had proved false.
He argued that in this case the CBI did not require sanction to prosecute former Haryana Additional Advocate General Sanjiv Bansal and businessman Ravinder Singh as they are not public servants.
However, Amar Singh Chahal, the counsel for Ravinder Singh, urged the court to accept the CBI's closure report in the case.
The 'cash-at-judge's door' scam dates back to August 13, 2008, when an amount of Rs 15 lakh was "wrongly delivered" at the residence of justice Nirmaljit Kaur of the High Court here following which she reported the matter to the police.
In the 'cash-at-judge's door' scam, Bansal, Rajiv Gupta, a businessman and other accused Parkash Ram and Nirmal Singh had got bail in October 2008, while the fifth accused, Delhi- based Ravinder Singh had secured bail on November 6, 2008.
Parkash Ram, clerk of former Haryana additional advocate general Bansal, had allegedly delivered the money after which the police registered an FIR on August 16, 2008. The case was later handed over to the CBI on August 28, 2008.
The then high court judge justice Nirmal Yadav had denied the allegation that the money delivered at justice Nirmaljit Kaur's residence was actually meant for her.
