New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday refused bail to Lalit Bhanot, former secretary general of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee in connection with the CWG scam.
A bench of justices J M Panchal and H L Gokhale, however, allowed Bhanot to approach the appropriate court for relief and clarified the court would not get influenced by observations made by the Delhi High Court which had earlier rejected his bail plea in July.
He is accused of favouring a Swiss firm in a contract that led to the loss of over Rs 90 crore.
CWG OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi's close aide, Bhanot was arrested along with OC director General V K Verma on February 23 for striking Rs 107 crore deal with a Swiss firm - Swiss Timing Omega in procuring the Timing, Scoring and Result (TSR) System for the Commonwealth Games held in 2010.
