A bench of Justice Indermeet Kaur enlarged MCD Executive Engineer O P Mahla, the civic body’s tender clerk Gurcharan Singh and private firm Sweka Powertech Engineering Pvt Ltd’s
Director J P Singh on bail asking them to furnish a personal bond of Rs 50,000 each to the satisfaction of the trial court.
Besides these three, the trial court had on September 2 awarded four-year imprisonment each to MCD Superintendent Engineer D K Sugan and Accountant Raju V and six years jail to the firm’s Managing Director T P Singh.
The court had held the allegations against the convicts as ‘serious’, saying they had ‘conspired together and had cheated the MCD/GNCTD for forging the tender documents, a
valuable security, and have also forged the tender opening
register.’
The street lighting scam was one of the 10 graft cases relating to holding of the mega sports event in October 2010.
