<div data-style="color: #444444; font-family: "Segoe UI", Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff;">Special Judge O P Saini made the observations as he noted that the oral submissions made by CBI counsel regarding the procedure for issuance of Red Corner Notice (RCN) by the Interpol, were not mentioned in its written application filed before the court earlier.

<div data-style="color: #444444; font-family: "Segoe UI", Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff;">“I have no hesitation in saying that you (CBI) are delaying the proceedings in the case. ... Seems like you are making <g data-gr-id="61">mockery</g> of the court. I have wasted 3-4 days on the issue.

<div data-style="color: #444444; font-family: "Segoe UI", Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff;">“Had you explained the procedure regarding the Interpol and RCN earlier, I would have passed the order on <g data-gr-id="55">issuance</g> of the warrant... Your application is not complete,” the court said.<div data-style="color: #444444; font-family: "Segoe UI", Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff;">
<div data-style="color: #444444; font-family: "Segoe UI", Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff;">It posted the matter for order on the plea for September 24.<div data-style="color: #444444; font-family: "Segoe UI", Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff;">
<div data-style="color: #444444; font-family: "Segoe UI", Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff;">During the hearing, CBI told the court that “issuance of the arrest warrant was the only recourse available in the case to ensure the presence of the accused, business tycoon T Ananda Krishnan and Malaysian national Augustus Ralph Marshall, as the Malaysian authorities have refused to serve the summons upon them which were issued earlier by the court.”

<div data-style="color: #444444; font-family: "Segoe UI", Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #ffffff;">“The only recourse today is the warrant, bailable or non-bailable, if the case has to proceed since the summons could not be delivered. Issue arrest warrant as the Malaysian authorities <g data-gr-id="50">have</g> said that they cannot issue summons to the accused in this case. Malaysian Attorney General has taken a view that there is no criminality against the accused in this matter,” counsel said.
