The Delhi High Court today sought the CBI's response on the bail plea of sacked CWG Organising Committee chief Suresh Kalmadi in a Games-related scam case.

Justice Mukta Gupta issued notice to the probe agency and sought its reply on Kalmadi's bail plea by January 6.

Kalmadi's counsel sought bail, claiming that his custody is no more required in the case as the CBI on November 3 has informed the trial court that investigation is complete.

However, Justice Gupta, said, merits of each case have to be looked into and fixed January 6 as the next date of hearing.

Kalmadi was arrested on April 26 for his alleged role in awarding a contract for the Delhi Commonwealth Games, allegedly causing a loss of over 95 crore rupees to the public exchequer.
