Petitioner in his plea stated that the time limit imposed on the anticipatory bail to be set aside, as it was in violation of the law settled by the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court. The plea also noted that the petitioner is fully cooperating with the investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) New Delhi unit, adding that the allegations related to incidents had occurred in 1994. The petitioner further pointed out that the custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be necessary to probe the matter in this case.
