"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.
