CWG case: Arguments on charges from Feb 1

NEW DELHI: Arguments on framing of charges against sacked Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee chief Suresh Kalmadi and others in a CWG-related corruption case will start from February 1, a special CBI court said on Thursday while directing the defence to finish scrutiny of documents by the end of this month.

Special CBI judge Talwant Singh decided on day-to-day proceedings in the case from Friday and directed the accused to be brought to court everyday at 10 am so that they could discuss with their lawyers during scrutiny of documents. "It is directed that scrutiny work be over by January 31. Arguments on charge will start from February 1 ," the court said.

It directed the defence counsel to complete the scrutiny of documents, filed by CBI along with the chargesheet, by the end of this month . "Whatever documents are there on judicial record, you (counsel) can take their photocopies. I am taking up the case on a day-to-day basis. I try to accommodate everyone here but then this allegation comes that there is delay in trial by the court," the judge said.

The court's remarks came while dealing with the applications of various accused that documents provided by CBI, along with the chargesheet, were incomplete or illegible.
