Games: Court reserves order on Omega trial
Age Correspondent
New Delhi, Oct. 13
A Delhi court on Thursday reserved its order on a CBI plea to separate the trial of Swiss Timing Omega from that of other accused in a case relating to award of a Commonwealth Games-related contract to the MNC firm to install timing, scoring and results (TSR) systems. Special CBI judge Talwant Singh, after hearing arguments from prosecution and defence lawyers, reserved the order for November 3 on CBI’s application on the issue.
“Put up the matter for pronouncement of order on November 3,” the court said. In its plea, the CBI told the court that it had already served summons to Swiss Timing in the manner prescribed under the treaty between the two countries but the firm was under the jurisdiction of the Confederation of Switzerland.
The process would take time in bringing the MNC firm to the jurisdiction of this court, it said.
