New Delhi: The special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Thursday dismissed the bail application of corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar in connection with an aviation scam which allegedly led to losses for Air India.
Special judge Anil Kumar Sisodia dismissed the bail plea on the ground that “default bail” cannot be granted as a matter of right. In the case, the bail plea was filed on the ground that the cognizance of the chargesheet was not taken within 60 days but the same was filed on the 60th day i.e. 23 September.
“…Coming to the facts of the present case, as already noted above accused was arrested in this case on 26.07.2019 and is in custody since then. The period of 60 days as stipulated in proviso to Section 167 (2) Cr.P.C expired on 23.09.2019.
