The Tis Hazari court on Saturday disposed of the bail pleas of the co-owners of the basement where three civil services aspirants died owing to flooding and asked them to approach the competent court as the Delhi High Court (HC) has transferred the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Rakesh Kumar, after noting the submissions of Delhi Police, disposed of the bail pleas of the accused: Harvinder, Tejinder, Parvinder and Sarabjeet.
The court has granted the accused the liberty to approach the competent court.
Additional Public Prosecutor (APP) Atul Srivastav, appearing for Delhi Police, informed the court that the investigation had been transferred to CBI by HC on Friday.
Defence counsel Amit Chaddha along with Kaushal Jeet Kait, Daksh Gupta and Jatin Gupta appeared for the accused persons. Chaddha said, "There is no regular case (RC) by CBI till date. Can an accused be left remediless?"
ASJ Kumar said that he cannot hear these bail applications in the "changed circumstances," as the case has been transferred to CBI. "Better you [defence counsel] withdraw the application," he said.
Chaddha urged the court to release the accused on interim bail.
