The city court, meanwhile, issued non-bailable warrant against treasurer M Jayachandran.
Judge Singh said: “He stopped appearing before the investigative agency after his role surfaced as accused in the case, hence I am of view to issue non-bailable warrant against him.”
The court also directed CBI to initiate proceedings against promoters of Faridabad-based Gem International’s A.K. Madan and Purushottam Arya and managing director of Hyderabad-based A.K.R. Constructions A. Krishna Reddy under section 82 of Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPc). The section means proclamation for a person absconding.
The court also directed the investigative agency to publish proclamations in newspapers.
The CBI Friday filed a chargesheet against nine people, including Kalmadi, and two companies in a case related to alleged financial irregularities in the preparations for the October 2010 mega-event.
