Sources in CBI said the agency had approached high court as Chautala, who was granted bail on medical grounds, has allegedly violated its terms by participating in election rallies.
The 79-year-old Indian National Lok Dal chief, who has been convicted and sentenced to 10 years in jail in a teachers' recruitment scam case, was granted bail in May this year on medical grounds.
Following repeated violations of bail conditions, which were brought to the notice of court by CBI, Chautala had volunteered on Sept. 26 that he would surrender after which he was directed to surrender on Oct. 17.
CBI has informed court that Chautala addressed a rally at Jind in Haryana on Sept. 25, the sources said. Haryana goes to polls on Oct. 15.
