New Delhi: In a major relief to former Union Minister of State for Coal Dilip Ray, the Delhi High Court today suspended the three-year jail term awarded to him by a Special CBI Court on Monday.
It may be noted that Special Judge Bharat Parashar yesterday awarded the three-jail term to Ray in connection with coal scam case. However, he was granted bail later in the day on basis of a bail bond of Rs 1 lakh.
Ray was the Minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government in 1999. The case pertains to allocation of 105.153 hectares of non-nationalised and abandoned coal mining area in Jharkhand’s Giridih district in favour of Castron Technologies Limited.
