The Telgi case took an interesting turn on Tuesday with Sarfraz Nawaz, an associate of fake stamp paper case accused Abdul Karim Telgi, pleading guilty before a special CBI court in Chennai. He pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy, counterfeiting, cheating and forgery.

Sarfraz was brought along with co-accused Balaji from Bangalore and produced before special CBI judge N Velu. The judge posted the case for next hearing on July 26.

According to procedure, the judge can pass an order on this petition only at the time of framing of charges, which is expected to take place during the next hearing. The court extended the remand of Sarfraz along with that of Telgi and associates Jacob Chacko and Abdul Wahid, who are in Yerawada prison in Pune, till the next hearing.

Meanwhile, Telgi and his two associates had filed a petition that they be personally produced in court so that they could interact with their lawyers. Their petition is likely to be taken up the same day.

While the other six accused in the case, including suspended TN DIG Mohammed Ali, ACP Shankar, LIC agent Ramaswamy Sadhu and Telgi’s associate Nizamuddin and his wife Nazreen, are on bail, the court extended the remand of Peter Kennedy.
