Abhay asked to seek nod to go abroad

New Delhi, August 22

A special CBI court today allowed a plea for exemption of personal appearance of INLD chief Om Prakash Chautala’s son Abhay, an accused in a disproportionate assets case, who had gone to attend Rio Olympics, and directed him to seek its permission to go abroad.

The court said no condition was there in the interim bail order to seek permission before leaving the country.

“There was no stipulated condition in these orders that accused will seek permission of the court before leaving the country... The exemption application of the accused is allowed,” CBI special judge Sanjay Garg-1 said.

“In future, if the accused is going abroad, he will seek permission of the court,” he added. On August 17, the CBI had sought cancellation of bail to Abhay for going to Olympics without court’s permission. — PTI
