Press Trust of India New Delhi

Agarwal, a Director of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd, had moved the court alleging that the entries made in the visitors' register maintained at the Department of Telecom (DoT) office at Sanchar Bhawan here have been "forged" by someone with ulterior motives.

He had pointed out that during recording of statement in the court, TTSL Senior Vice President (Corporate Regulatory Affairs) Dalal was shown the visitors' register in which there were entries in his name on January 8 and 9, 2008, just before the issuance of letters of intent (LoIs) on January 10, 2008.

On being shown the said register, Dalal had said both the entries were in his name but it does not bear his signature, Agarwal had said in his application, adding, that the CBI had filed "doctored documents" before the court with the motive of falsely implicating the accused in the case.

 

During his cross examination, Dalal had also denied that the two entries were made at his instance, Agarwal said.

Special CBI Judge O P Saini, who was scheduled to pass an order on Agarwal's plea, said, "the application (of Rajiv Agarwal) is kept pending for appropriate stage as it involves appreciation of evidence" produced in the case.

During the arguments on the application, senior counsel R N Mittal, who appeared for Agarwal, had said that court should take specimen signatures of Dalal to ascertain the veracity of entries in the documents which the agency had filed before it. (More)
