2G case: HC raps CBI for incomplete medical report of Morani

NEW DELHI: The CBI on Tuesday drew the ire of Delhi High Court for submitting a medical report of Bollywood producer Karim Morani, who has sought interim bail in 2G case, without information on diagnosis and line of treatment and was directed to file a fresh one within three days.

"The medical report, which is placed on record, has simply annexed the MRI and radiological tests reports without any opinion of the doctors," Justice Ajit Bharihoke, who is hearing 52-year-old Morani's plea for interim bail on health grounds, said.

The court asked the CBI to file a fresh, comprehensive medical report on health condition of Morani within three days.

A clearly vexed Justice Bharihoke said, "I am sorry to say this. I am very candid that the DSP of this calibre cannot assist you (special prosecutor U U Lalit).

"A complete medical report be filed based on the MRI report clearly defining the line of treatment and nature of ailment within three days," the court said, and fixed the next hearing on July 8.

Meanwhile, the CBI also sought time for filing its status report in connection with the bail plea of another accused, former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura.

The court asked the agency to file its report by tomorrow morning after serving its copy to Behura's lawyer.

Morani, Director of Cineyug Films, is accused of felicitating routing of Rs 200 crore bribe to DMK-run Kalaignar TV through various firms of Swan Telecom promoter Shahid Usman Balwa, a beneficiary of the spectrum allocation.
