The court's observation came as it allowed Ruia's plea to travel to Russia, UK, France and Dubai from today till September 26 for personal and business commitments.
"I am inclined to allow the application and the same is allowed. Applicant/accused Ravi Kant Ruia is permitted to visit Vladivostok (Russia), London (UK), Nice (France) and Dubai (UAE) from September 3 to September 26....And subject to caution that he should desist from filing such applications quite frequently," Special CBI Judge O P Saini.
Senior counsel S V Raju, who appeared for Ruia, argued in the court that his client is a non-resident Indian (NRI) and to continue that status, he cannot reside in India for more than 181 days in a financial year.
He said that Ruia was permitted to go abroad on several occasions earlier and he had complied with all conditions imposed on him every time.
It also argued that Ruia was frequently filing such pleas and the documents annexed to the application were incomplete and did not completely disclosed his programme in these countries.
In its order, the court observed that "there may be some defects in the papers, but they are not either outlandish or undeserving of any faith whatsoever.
