While extending time for Kulkarni, who failed to attend the court today despite his 6 September undertaking to the court, the court said no further extension would be granted to him. “More time is granted (to Kulkarni) but no time will be granted after 27 September,” the judge said. The court, which also heard part of arguments on Singh’s regular bail plea by senior counsel Ram Jethhmalani, slated 27 September for its further hearing. The judge extended Singh’s interim bail saying the terms and conditions of the bail would remain same as those stipulated on 15 September at the time of the grant of interim bail. The court had granted him interim bail on a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh with one surety of the same amount and also directed him to submit his passport to it and not to leave Delhi without its permission.
