Murli Krishan and Venugopal in its chargesheet filed July last year. The court has found substantive evidence against Singla under section 9 of the Prevention of Corruption Act (taking gratification, for exercise of personal influence with public servant).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The court noted that CBI filed details regarding the trail of money that is the source of bribe amount as to how it was collected and the conspiracy within the conspiracy as to how accused Manjunath mobilised the bribe amount from various sources.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Interestingly, some people he had requested for money on the ground that accused Mahesh Kumar after becoming Member (Electrical) will award them contracts had refused to be part of this conspiracy,&#8221; the court said. &#8220;If this money recovered from accused Vijay Singla was part of the land deal where was the question of Manjunath specifically asking people in Calcutta, Madras and Delhi for mobilisation of funds which were ultimately recovered from accused Vijay Singla.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8221; The court noted that there is continuous conversation between Yadav and Manjunath as well as accused Venugopal, Sandhir and Daga regarding the present conspiracy. It observed that accused Manjunath had arranged the money and was in touch with Yadav, Venugopal, M.V.
