NEW DELHI: SC quashed anticipatory bail granted to former IAS officers Anil Tuteja and Alok Shukla and allowed ED to take them in its custody for four weeks in the Nagrik Apurti Nigam 'scam' in Chhattisgarh.
"We have perused the impugned orders and materials available on record. Suffice it is to state that it is not a fit case for anticipatory bail, but considering the said materials at this stage would be detrimental to the further proceedings and, therefore, might influence trial court. In such a view, we have no hesitation in setting aside the anticipatory bail granted to respondent - Alok Shukla and are inclined to grant his custody to ED for four weeks," a bench of Justices Sundresh and Satish Chandra Sharma said.
"Insofar as respondent - Tuteja is concerned, taking note of materials, we have no hesitation in setting aside anticipatory bail granted. We are also inclined to grant custody of Tuteja to ED for four weeks," SC said. It granted one week to them to surrender. Tuteja and Shukla were among the most powerful bureaucrats in the Bhupesh Baghel govt and played key roles in govt operations.
