New Delhi, Sep 3 (TIWN) The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Delhi Police on how long would it take to complete the probe involving former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh, who is accused of allegedly misappropriating about Rs 2,400 crore from Religare Finvest Ltd funds.
"Seriousness of the allegation or the availability of material in support thereof are not the only considerations for declining bail. Delay in commencement and conclusion of trial is a factor to be taken into account and the accused cannot be kept in custody for indefinite period if trial is not likely to be concluded within reasonable time," a bench comprising justices T S Thakur and Adarsh Kumar Goel said.
