1 July 2016 4:00 AM IST
Justice IS Mehta issued notice to the CBI, asking it to file its response before July 8 on a plea by Lalitha Lakshmanan, a former public servant who worked in a regional passport office at Bengaluru.
She sought quashing of the charges of cheating, forgery, criminal conspiracy under the IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act framed against her by a trial court here on June 8.
Similar charges have also been framed against two other public servants – Jayashree Dattatray Rahate and Deepak Natvarlal Shah – accused of helping Rajan procure a fake passport in the name of Mohan Kumar. The trial court had framed charges also under the Passport Act against all the accused, including the gangster. While Rajan is lodged in Tihar Jail here, the other three accused are out on bail.
