Delhi High Court is hearing a plea by Sathish Babu Sana, linked to meat exporter Moin Qureshi's corruption and illegal gratification case. Sana was granted interim protection in the case previously by the Court.
Sana challenges a Look Out Circular issued against him.
Sana: I'm a person who has gone abroad 19 times and returned to the country since registration of the case. I've always presented myself whenever called for investigation.
Sana: I'm not even an accused in the matter, there is no FIR against me.
Sana: I've been granted interim protection in the matter and allowed to go abroad subject to permission of the Court.
Delhi High Court tells Adv Ripudaman Bhardwaj for CBI that if anything exists against Sana, they may file an FIR and arrest him.
Justice Mukta Gupta comes down heavily upon CBI counsel for not sharing with the Court that the HC order on which CBI relies has been modified by the SC.
DHC: Now CBI will hide things from Court??
Sr Adv Sidharth Aggarwal for Sana: I'm differently situated than Moin Akhtar Qureshi.
Adv Ripudaman Bhardwaj: My Lady may take it from me that I would not even dream of concealing information from this Court.
HC: If there was any modification of the order that should've been filed as well in advance.
Order is reserved by the Court.

Maninder Singh, Sr.ADV: I have 2 submissions. It is not merely a law and order problem. It is squarely falling in the Special Protection Group Act #PMOIndia . Section 14 says “assistance to the group shall be the duty of every ministry of central or State Government”
Singh: This fell for your lordships consideration with regard to a former PM who was under trial for corruption and the place of the trial had to be shifted. Even if the PM wants to wave the protection, he cannot do that. He does not have the right #PMOIndia
