New Delhi, Mar 26: 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.
“Alongwith 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 are 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 March 28 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.
