Court asks CBI to give docs to ex-RS MP Madani in graft case

A special court today asked the CBI to hand over certain documents to former Rajya Sabha MP Mahmood A Madani which were filed along with the charge sheet against him in connection with an LTC scam.
Special judge Anju Bajaj Chandna, who had granted bail to the politician in the case for allegedly causing a loss of Rs 5.75 lakh to the exchequer by submitting wrong claims, asked the agency to hand over the documents to the accused and posted the matter for the scrutiny of documents.
The court had also granted bail to Madani's former PA Mohd Mubashir on February 21.

The court had taken cognisance of the CBI charge sheet against Madani, a Rashtriya Lok Dal leader from UP, and Mubashir and asked them to appear before the court.
The court had said there was sufficient evidence to summon them for the alleged offences of cheating, forgery, criminal conspiracy under the IPC and under provisions of Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act.
In its charge sheet, the CBI had alleged that in 2012, Madani, then a Rajya Sabha MP, had entered into a criminal conspiracy with Mubashir and submitted Travel Allowance (TA) claims on the basis of forged e-tickets and cheated the office of Rajya Sabha Secretariat by causing wrongful loss to the department and corresponding gain to himself of Rs 5,75,135.
