Special CBI judge Pradeep Chaddah said a prima facie case exists against the accused persons and "let the charges be framed accordingly".
The accused persons are MCD superintendent engineer DK Sugan, executive engineer OP Mahala, accountant Raju V and civic body's tender clerk Gurcharan Singh, besides JP Singh and TP Singh of private firm Sweska Powertech Engineers Pvt Ltd, who were allegedly illegally favoured in the award of street lighting contract.
