Holding that the court cannot fix limitations for an agency in terms of their investigations, the CBI court today dismissed an application forwarded by the counsel of Ravinder Singh, accused in the cash-at-judge’s-door case. Singh had moved an application stating the agency was calling him for interrogations again and again and making him sit for long hours.

The application moved on November 20 petitioned the court to modify the order in which the accused was directed to give full co-operation to the investigating agency on November 6. It was also stated that he is being asked the same questions again and again by the CBI officers that were asked while he was in CBI custody. A request was also made for conducting videography interrogation by the counsel.

The public prosecutor of the CBI replied that the investigations are at a crucial stage and the accused was initially absconding but later surrendered.

The prosecutor said the reasons given by accused are baseless as the presence of the accused in CBI office is very important for further investigations to arrive at the truth. The CBI also replied that the accused is not co-operating in the investigations and he is being contacted on phone too whenever required.

The court of CBI Jagdeep Jain while dismissing the application declined the request for videography and said the court cannot interfere in the normal course of investigations.
