NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday affirmed the statutory bail that was granted to former NSE head Chitra Ramakrishna in Gothenburg co-location scam case that was being probed by the CBI. 

While dismissing the plea, a bench of Justice Ajay Rastogi and Bela Trivedi said that HCs order would only be construed with regards to the grant of default bail and would not affect the merits of the case. The court also remarked that the CBI cannot proceed with the investigation by truncating the offences.  

“After hearing the counsel, we find no reasons to interfere the bail order, we clarify that the observations made are only for grant of default bail and shall not affect the merits of the trial,” court said in its order.
