(a) & (b): Yes, Madam. Though the investigation of the case has been conducted on day to day basis, but a substantial part of the investigation is required to be conducted in UK for which Letters Rogatory (LR) is being issued u/s 166A of CrPC to the competent Judicial Authority in UK. The finalization of investigation depends on the execution of the said LR. In view of the same, investigation of the case could not be completed within the stipulated period of 60 days. Hence, the Hon’ble Delhi High Court has granted statutory bail to accused Shri T.S. Darbari on 14.01.2011 and to Shri M. Jeychandren on 21.01.2011. Shri Sanjay Mohindroo has also been granted statutory bail by the Court of Ld. Special Judge, Patiala House, Court on 15.01.2011.
