New Delhi, Jan 4: The Delhi High Court Wednesday refused to stay a plea filed by Swiss Timing, an accused in a corruption case linked to the 2010 Commonwealth Games, to stay possible action against it by the trial judge for not appearing in court.

Justice Mukta Gupta refused to give any relief to the Switzerland-based firm and said: ‘There cannot be a stay on the trial court proceedings.’

Swiss Timing is an accused in a Commonwealth Games corruption case for allegedly getting a contract illegally and causing a loss of over Rs.90 crore to the exchequer.
