The six arrested in connection with the Adarsh case had filed bail applications in the CBI court on Monday saying that they were entitled to get bail as the CBI had not filed chargesheet even 60 days after their arrest.
Today, they filed fresh applications saying that the hearing on their bail pleas should be expedited. But the court refused to accept their argument and said that the their bail pleas would be heard on May 28.
The bail applications filed by IAS officer Pardeep Vyas, former deputy secretary in Urban Development Department P V Deshmukh, Brigadier(retd) M M Wanchoo, retired Defence Estates Officer R C Thakur, Major General (Retd) A R Kumar and former MLC Kanhaiyyalal Gidwani said that the CBI ought to have filed chargesheet in 60 days. This was for the third time that bail applications were filed by the accused.
Earlier, they had filed bail applications saying that the investigation in the Adarsh case was complete and the CBI did not need their custodial interrogation. However, the applications were rejected.
Later, they filed another set of applications citing that the two-member commission constituted by Maharashtra government to probe the allegations in its interim report had said that the land did not belong to the Army but to the state. But the court had rejected their contention.
