The CBI told Justice Revati Mohite Dere that it would require time to file its affidavit, opposing Peter’s bail. Justice Dere then posted the hearing on July 19.
Peter approached the High Court, seeking bail, after the sessions court had rejected his application on two occasions earlier. In his bail plea, Peter said there is nothing incriminating against him in the charge-sheet.
Peter was arrested in November last year in the case. His wife Indrani, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna, and her former driver Shyamvar Rai are also arrested in the case.
