SC to hear bail plea of former Union Minister Sukh Ram tomorrow

The bail plea of former Union Minister Sukh Ram will be taken up tomorrow in the Supreme Court. Sukh Ram surrendered yesterday and was sent to jail to undergo a three-year term in the 1993 telecom scam.

A bench headed by Justice P Sathasivam, would also hear the bail plea of veteran politician's co-accused former bureaucrat Runu Ghosh and Hyderabad-based businessman P Rama Rao.

The bench had earlier on January 5 refused to entertain their appeal against the Delhi High Court's order convicting them in the scam and awarded three years jail term for Sukh Ram and Rao and two years of imprisonment for Ghosh.

The bench had said that it would hear their plea only after they comply with the high court's order and surrender before a trial court to undergo sentence.
