The Delhi High Court today granted bail to Lt Gen Tejinder Singh (retd) in the case over the truck purchase scam. Justice Pratibha Rani ordered his release on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and on the condition that he would not leave the country without the trial court’s permission.
The trial court had ordered his arrest for allegedly offering a bribe of Rs 14 crore in 2010 to the then army chief Gen VK Singh for clearing the purchase of 1,676 sub-standard trucks.
The HC noted that the CBI had not opposed the bail plea apprehending that he would influence the witnesses. CBI had cited the number two position held by Lt Gen T Singh in the army and the magnitude of the alleged offence. The reasons given by the trial court for denial of bail on September 1 “are against the settled legal principles” laid down the HC and the Supreme court, the judge held.
