September 20th, 2011 - 7:53 pm ICT by IANS  

Bharatiya Janata Party New Delhi, Sep 20 (IANS) A Delhi court Tuesday reserved till Sep 29 its order on the bail plea of Sohail Hindustani, middleman and former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker, arrested in the cash-for-votes scam that rocked parliament during a trust vote in 2008.

Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal fixed the matter for order Sep 29 after hearing an over one-hour argument by the lawyer of Hindustani, who was arrested July 20.

Hindustani collapsed during the hearing inside the courtroom Monday and was taken to a hospital.

On July 22, 2008, three BJP members of the Lok Sabha waved wads of currency notes inside the house ahead of a trust vote, alleging they were given the money to vote in favour of the Manmohan Singh government.
