New Delhi: A Delhi court on Friday extended till July 14 the judicial custody of Commonwealth Games Organising Committee's former treasurer M. Jaychandran arrested for his alleged role in awarding a contract to a Swiss firm at an exorbitant cost.

While extending Mr. Jaychandran's judicial custody, Special Judge Talwant Singh also decided to hear further arguments on his bail plea on June 13.

The court decided to hear Mr. Jaychandran's bail plea on Monday despite the trial court closing for summer vacation from that day.

“Keeping in view the urgency of the matter, the court will function till June 15.

Further arguments will be taken up on June 13,” the judge said after hearing partial arguments on Mr. Jaychandran's bail plea.

The court also reserved for June 15 the order on the anticipatory bail plea of A.K. Reddy, the promoter of Hyderabad-based firm AKR Constructions, which was given a sub-contract for TSR work by another sub-contractor, Gem International which itself was a sub-contractor for ‘Swiss Timing'
