A Special court on Wednesday deferred scheduled pronouncement of orders on bail applications of DMK MP Kanimozhi, former Communications Minister A. Raja and others in the money laundering case emanating from the 2G spectrum allocation scam to August 20.
Special Judge O.P. Saini postponed the pronouncement to the next date, saying that he needed more time to write them. He had reserved the orders on July 22.
The Enforcement Directorate in April filed a complaint against them under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, alleging that Rs. 200 crore was paid by promoters of Swan Telecom to DMK-controlled Kalaignar TV in the garb of loan/share application money but actually this payment was illegal gratification for and on behalf of A. Raja and his associates in lieu of illegal favours extended to Swan Telecom in the allocation of the spectrum.
The Court summoned them on the ED’s complaint, saying that there was enough incriminating material on record to proceed against the accused persons.
