Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Judge Talwant Singh, in an order made available Tuesday, granted bail to foremr OC joint director general (sports) Prasad, former OC director general (procurement) Lal and Faridabad-based Gem International's promoter Arya.

"After hearing both sides, without going into the merits of the case, I am inclined to grant bail to all the three accused...on ground of parity as other four accused persons are already on bail," the court said Monday. With this, seven of the nine people, including former OC chief Suresh Kalmadi, also booked in the case, have been released on bail.

Two companies have also been booked for irregularities in the award of a contract for timing, scoring and result (TSR) equipment for the 2010 Games. The two accused now left in jail are A.K. Madan, another promoter of Gem International, and A.K. Reddy, official of Hyderabad-based company A.K.R. Construction.

The court directed the accused who were granted bail not to intimidate any witness. They were also restrained from leaving the country without court permission.
