After the CBI was pulled up by a Delhi court for not complying with its order, the agency has submitted translated summons to be served to three officials of Switzerland-based Swiss Timing Ltd, facing trial in a 2010 Commonwealth Games (CWG) scam case.
The agency filed the summons along with a brief note of the case, which were translated into German language, in the court which handed it over to the prosecutor to send them to the accused persons through the Federal Department of Justice and Police of Swiss Confederation.
‘Along with the certificate (authenticity of translation), the summons to the accused persons, brief note of the case and above mentioned sections are also produced in German language.
‘After signing these documents the same have been handed over to the senior PP to be sent to the accused persons through proper channel with directions that photocopies of these documents be retained on record,’ Special CBI Judge Ravinder Kaur said.
The court also directed the CBI to file a status report on 28 March in connection with the service of summons.
Swiss Timing along with sacked CWG Organising Committee (OC) chairman Suresh Kalmadi and nine others is facing trial for allegedly conspiring and cheating the exchequer to the tune of over Rs 95 crore.
The court had framed charges of cheating and conspiracy against Swiss Timing and had said the record of the case ‘prima facie’ suggests that there are ‘incriminating evidence about the involvement’ of its three officials in the case.
It had directed the CBI to file a charge sheet against the firm's three senior officials, General Manager Christophe Berthaud, General Manager, Sales & Marketing Manager S Chianese, and Multi Sports Events & Sales Manager J Spiri for their alleged involvement in the case.
The court had earlier pulled up the CBI for not complying with its directions to get these summons along with the brief note of the case translated in German language and to obtain certificate of authenticity from a translator within a week.
The court had said even after over 10 days of passing of the order, the translated documents were not furnished before it which was delaying the matter.
On 21 March, CBI had submitted translated documents in the court along with a certificate by a translator containing a declaration that they were authenticated.
Swiss Timing Ltd was chargesheeted by the CBI along with Kalmadi and others in a case relating to ‘illegally’ awarding a contract to install Timing, Scoring and Results (TSR) system for the 2010 CWG to Swiss Timing Ltd at inflated rates causing a huge loss to the exchequer.
While directing CBI to file a charge sheet against the three persons, the court had said the name of a person, who had allegedly acted and entered into a criminal conspiracy on behalf of Swiss Timing Ltd with the other accused, is not there in the charge sheet.
