Court rejects CBI plea to recall witness

A Delhi court on Wednesday dismissed CBI’s plea to recall the brother of Unitech MD and 2G accused Sanjay Chandra for further examination as a prosecution witness. CBI had pleaded that Ajay Chandra, also a Unitech MD, be called in interest of justice as two statements made by him were contradictory. Special CBI judge OP Saini declined CBI’s plea to summon Ajay for re-examination by the prosecution saying ‘the application is without merit and the same is dismissed’. ‘After going through the relevant record including the statement of the witness recorded in the court as prosecution witness (PW-85), I do not find any merit in the application.
