Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) lawmaker Kanimozhi, who was arrested in connection with the 2G spectrum scam , would approach Delhi High Court with her bail plea by next week, her lawyer said on Saturday.
Kanimozhi and former Telecom Minister A. Raja were on Saturday produced before a special court here. The court had sent her to14-day judicial custody on Friday.
The DMK lawmaker’s counsel, Samoga Samudaram , said his client is confident of emerging clean from the case.
“Kanimozhi was brought to court today. She was confident and she is very confident that she will come out clean in the case. About the bail application, the court has observed that her conduct was highly dignified. That was the observation by the court because the court had seen her coming to court everyday without failing, except for one or two days when she took exemption,” Samudaram said.
Riding high on the High Court’s observation on the verdict, Samudaram said they would forward the bail plea to the higher court.
“At the moment nothing else, except the bail application before the High Court because as we sighted the judgment of the High Court where the High Court says, it is heartless of the court to issue warrant and remand a person who has appeared on summon. So, on that ground we are moving to High Court,” he said.
A special CBI court had on Friday refused to grant bail to Kanimozhi and Kalaignar TV managing director Sharad Kumar citing the ‘magnitude of the crime’.
While Kanimozhi was lodged in Jail No 6, Kumar was sent to Jail No 4, which also has Commonwealth Games scam accused Suresh Kalmadi.
The CBI had claimed that Kanimozhi lobbied for Raja to become a Union Cabinet minister.
The CBI also argued that Asif Balwa, who is the director of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd was the front man in the entire scam.
The agency presented before the court, details of the Rs 200 crore transactions by the Kalaignar TV.
The CBI said that a total number of 16 bank accounts were used in the transactions. The money first came from DB Realty to Kusegaon. It then went to Cineyug Film Company from where it was routed to Kalaignar TV.
She has been named as co-conspirator in CBI’s second chargesheet in the scam.
Kanimozhi has been charged under Sections 7 and 11 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The chargesheet said the investigation into the case disclosed that money had travelled from DB Realty to Kalaignar TV.
The supplementary chargesheet filed by the investigating agency has also named as co-accused Sharad Kumar, Karim Morani of Cineyug Films, and Asif Balwa and Rajiv B Agarwal of Kusegaon Realty.
