New Delhi: After being in jail for nearly six months, DMK MP Kanimozhi may finally get some relief on October 17 when her bail plea comes up for hearing.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has decided not to oppose her bail plea.
According to highly placed sources in the agency, Cineyug Films' founder Karim Morani and Reliance executive Surendra Pipara may also get relief on health grounds.
Sources said that the CBI would not oppose the bail plea of the three who have been languishing in jail for over five months.
They said freedom to 43-year-old Kanimozhi, who has been in jail since May 20, might not be opposed on gender grounds besides the fact that she had to look after her child. However, it would press for conditions that she should not tamper with evidence.
The sources said bail plea of Morani, who is lodged in the jail since May 30, and Pipara, who was arrested on April 21, would also not be opposed on health grounds.
The bail plea of Kanimozhi and Morani will come up for hearing on October 17 before special CBI judge O P Saini.
The bail pleas of DMK leader and Morani were earlier rejected by the trial court and subsequently by the Delhi High Court and Supreme Court. This will be the second attempt by the two. Pipara had applied for bail immediately after his arrest but was rejected.
