Saini, however, did not allow the contention of CBI to cancel bail of Mr. Balwa, an accused in the 2G case.<\/p>\n<p>The court passed the order on Mr. Balwa\u2019s plea seeking permission to withdraw his answers given earlier during his deposition.<\/p>\n<p>CBI had argued in court that Mr. Balwa\u2019s plea was nothing but a \u201csinister design\u201d to take the court for a \u201cride\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>During the arguments, Special Public Prosecutor U.U. Lalit had submitted that Mr. Balwa\u2019s earlier contention that he had failed to understand the questions asked by the court under the provisions of CrPC was not an \u201cinadvertent error\u201d and it was a \u201csmart and calculated\u201d move.<\/p>\n<p>He had also contended that it was a \u201cbreach of faith\u201d reposed by the court on the accused and he must be fair to the court.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Balwa\u2019s counsel, however, had submitted that it was only an inadvertent error and that nothing had been done deliberately.<\/p>\n<p>On CBI\u2019s contentions that bail granted earlier to Mr. Balwa may be cancelled, his lawyer had said it was not the case that his client has tampered with evidence or threatened any witness.<\/p>\n<p>The counsel had also said that if the court feels that something wrong has been done, he was offering unconditional apology.<\/p>\n<p>The CBI had earlier sought cancellation of the bail granted to Mr. Balwa, facing trial in the 2G case, saying his conduct requires reconsideration and recall of the relief given to him.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Balwa had faced the court\u2019s ire when it observed that he \u201cdeserved\u201d to be taken into custody for his misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>He had filed a plea contending that he will \u201cnot raise any question of prejudice caused to him on grounds of non-understanding of any question asked by the court.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Balwa had said that during the recording of his statement, which was deferred by the judge, all questions were explained properly by the court.<\/p>\n<p>He had apologised to the judge, saying he had not done anything intentionally. He had offered the apology after CBI had alleged that Mr. Balwa had deliberately stated that he had not understood the questions being asked by the court.<\/p>\n<p>The stage for the recording of evidence of former Telecom Minister A Raja and 16 other co-accused, including DMK MP Kanimozhi, was set earlier when the court supplied a draft questionnaire to the accused containing 1,718 questions and running into 824 pages.<\/p>\n<p>Besides Mr. Raja, Ms. Kanimozhi and Mr. Balwa, former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura, Mr. Raja\u2019s erstwhile private secretary R K Chandolia, Vinod Goenka, Unitech Ltd MD Sanjay Chandra and Reliance ADAG executives Gautam Doshi, Surendra Pipara and Hari Nair are facing trial in the case.<\/p>\n<p>Directors of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd, Asif Balwa and Rajiv Agarwal, Sharad Kumar and Bollywood producer Karim Morani are also accused in the case.<\/p>\n<p>Besides these 14 accused, three telecom firms Swan Telecom Pvt Ltd, Reliance Telecom Ltd and Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu) Ltd are also facing trial in the case.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A special court on Friday imposed a penalty of Rs. 1 lakh on Swan Telecom promoter Shahid Usman Balwa, who had sought permission to withdraw answers given by him earlier to the court in the 2G scam case trial, while allowing his plea to record afresh his statement before it.
