New Delhi, Jan 12: A day before starting daily hearing, a special CBI court here Thursday said the argument on charge in a corruption case related to purchase of time-scoring-result (TSR) system for the 2010 Commonwealth Games (CWG) will start Feb 1.

“The argument on charge on the CWG TSR scam will be held from Feb 1,” said Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge Talwant Singh, adding that the case will be taken up on daily basis from Friday.

The court decided Jan 4 that the case would be taken up on daily basis.

The CBI in its first charge sheet in the case against former CWG Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi and 10 others described him as a prime accused and the mastermind in the corruption case related to financial irregularities in awarding the Rs.141 crore contract for the TSR system.

The accused officials and two companies were charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for cheating, criminal conspiracy and forgery and under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
