A Delhi court will decide on November 3 the fresh bail petitions moved by DMK MP Kanimozhi and four other accused today in the 2G case after the CBI did not object to their plea.

Two days after charges were framed against them, special CBI judge OP Saini reserved his order on the bail petitions of Kanimozhi, Kalaignar TV MD Sharad Kumar, Directors of Kusegaon Fruits & Vegetables Asif Balwa, Rajiv Agarwal and Bollywood producer Karim Morani.

During arguments, special public prosecutor UU Lalit, appearing for the CBI, said that the agency had no objection if they were granted bail by the court.

"First bail be granted to them subject to the discretion of this court if the court deems it fit," Lalit said.

The court, however, will hear the arguments on bail pleas of Swan Telecom promoter Shahid Balwa and A Raja's former private secretary RK Chandolia as the CBI opposed their petitions.
