In its order released Thursday evening, the CBI special judge also ordered them to furnish a bond of R1 lakh each and subjected them to furnish an undertaking that they will not influence the witnesses or evidences, or skip hearings on medical grounds or interfere with the court’s proceedings.

“We managed to get bail on grounds that the investigating agency did not investigate the matter properly and only held the head of institution responsible for the entire scam,” said Nandit Srivastava, counsel for three former judges.

The six former judges were chargesheeted in July, 2010.
