BANGALORE: The Special Court trying the multi-crore stamp paper racket cases on Friday ordered further trial of the case involving Abdul Kareem Telgi, prime accused, and the doctors of Victoria Hospital — Jnanendrappa and Channakeshava. The trial of the case will be held for five days from June 12.

Judge Vishwanath Virupax Angadi will proceed with the trial that had came to a halt following the transfer of A.T. Munnoli in the second week of January. The case relates to the charge against Telgi had he offered money to Jnanendrappa and Channakeshava for getting false medical certificates.

False certificates

Telgi used these medical certificates to get bail from the court.

The Central Bureau of Investigation booked a case against Telgi and the two doctors under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

On the first day Mr. Angadi has ordered further examination of K. Siddaraju, the former Superintendent of Victoria Hospital, and Ramachandrappa, the Office Superintendent of Victoria Hospital.

On the second day the judge ordered the cross examination of Dr. Prasanna Kumar, the former Chief Medical Officer of Bangalore Central Prison hospital, and Dr. Sunil Chavan, who was working in the Central Prison.

Evidence

From the third day, the judge ordered recording of evidence of seven additional persons, which included those involved in analysing the telephone conversation that Telgi allegedly had with Jnanendrappa.

In the conversation, which was recorded by the Stamp Paper Investigation Team in 2002, there was a reference to the money offered by Telgi.

Conversation

The Central Bureau of Investigation had sent the doctor's conversation and his voice patterns to examination by the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) in New Delhi.

It produced before the court cassettes and the transcripts related to the conversation.
