"I am sitting from 2:00 to 2:40 PM and the jail authorities at Pune are not producing Telgi for reasons best known to them," said ASJ Sehgal directing that the copy of the order along with the letter be sent to Superintendent.

On the last date of hearing itself, the time of the hearing, which was fixed at 2:00 PM, was communicated to the jail officials but, as a matter of fact, the accused was not produced at the fixed time, she said.

The court also issued notices to the authorised representative of the CBI and its counsel as both failed to appear before it.

The ASJ was hearing a case wherein Telgi with the help of five Delhi Police officials allegedly got his business rivals implicated in a fake stamp paper case.
