The Delhi High Court on Friday stayed the grant of bail to former Telecom Minister A Raja's private secretary R.K. Chandolia, an accused in the 2G case.
Justice V.K Shali stayed the grant of bail after taking suo moto cognisance of media reports in that regard.
Chandolia, who was granted bail by a Special CBI Court, however, had walked out of the Tihar Jail yesterday evening.
Special CBI judge O P Saini had enlarged him on bail, saying that being the private secretary of Telecom Minister A Raja, Chandolia did not exercise any independent powers and there was no allegation that he himself had accepted any bribe.
He had said Chandolia's case cannot be equated with that of Raja and former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura, who are the only two accused in the case who are still behind the bars.
The court had also taken into account that 11 co-accused, including DMK MP Kanimozhi and Swan Telecom promoter Shahid Usman Balwa, had already been granted bail in the case.
