Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain said he was granting “statutory bail” to the two former officials, Chitra Ramkrishna and Anand Subramanian, of the NSE
The Delhi High Court on September 28 granted bail to former National Stock Exchange (NSE) head Chitra Ramkrishna and ex-group operating officer Anand Subramanian in the co-location scam case being probed by the CBI.
Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain said he was granting “statutory bail” to the two former officials of the NSE.
A detailed copy of the order is awaited.
An FIR was registered in the case in May 2018, amid fresh revelations about irregularities at the country’s largest stock exchange. The CBI is probing the alleged improper dissemination of information from the computer servers of the market exchanges to stock brokers.
Mr. Subramanian was arrested by the CBI on February 24.
The CBI had arrested Ms. Ramkrishna on March 6, a day after her anticipatory bail application was dismissed by a trial court.
In a status report filed in the bail plea by Mr. Subramanian, the CBI said the investigation has established that co-accused Ms. Ramkrishna abused her official position at NSE to illegally appoint him as the Chief Strategic Advisor and also arbitrarily and disproportionately hiked his compensation and re-designated him as group operating officer without requisite approvals.
