These accused appeared before the court in pursuance to the summons issued against them and the CBI supplied the copy of charge sheet and documents filed along with it to them after which Special Judge Gurdeep Singh posted the matter for scrutiny of documents.
The court had earlier taken cognisance of CBI charge sheet filed against them for alleged offences under section 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC and under various provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act.
In its charge sheet, CBI has said that service of Jain was terminated by the government and thus no sanction for his prosecution was required.
The court had in September last year granted bail to all the accused, including Jain and Singhal, after CBI had failed to file the charge sheet against them within the stipulated period of 60 days.
