New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed Delhi High Court's proceedings for cancellation of bail of RK Chandolia, former private secretary of A Raja, in the 2G scam case.
The matter is again listed for further hearing in the apex court on Thursday.
Chandolia, who was out of Tihar Jail on December 1 after being granted bail, had challenged the High Court's
suo-motu decision to stay the grant of bail by the special court.
The high court order will be on hold till Chandolia's plea is decided by a bench headed by Justice G S Singhvi.
The bench had on December 5 told Chandolia's counsel that it was not sure whether the appeal fell within the ambit of sphere of work allocated to it under the rules for business of the apex court.
The court had then asked the lawyer to mention the matter again on Wednesday as the apex court registry, by that time, would find out whether the court could take up the matter for hearing or not.
Earlier, a bench of Justice VK Shali of the high court, had stayed the trial court order granting bail to Chandolia.
A day after Chandolia got out of Tihar after getting bail in the case, the high court took suo motu cognizance of news reports and said that the stay would be operative if he was not released from the prison.
