The issue came up when during a hearing, special CBI judge Sanjay Garg-I was informed that Abhay was absent as he, being a sports administrator and former president of Indian Olympic Association, has gone to attend the Rio Olympics from August 2 to 25.

His counsel moved an application seeking exemption from personal appearance of the politician.

The court, however, said,”No specific permission has been sought by this accused from this court to go abroad. Counsel for accused submits that since there is no specific condition regarding seeking permission from the court for going abroad in the bail order due to this reason no permission was taken from this court.”
