NEW DELHI: A court in Delhi has given its no-objection to a suspected middleman in a bribery case involving a top GAIL official to renew his passport, saying its mere reissuance would not give him the leverage to travel abroad on his free will.
The court passed the order on an application moved by Pawan Gaur, who had allegedly acted as a middleman for GAIL Director (Marketing) ES Ranganathan by obtaining bribes from private companies buying petrochemical products marketed by the public sector company.
Granting relief, Special Judge Namrita Aggarwal noted that Gaur has till date not tried to evade the process of justice.
