After the routine denotification of special judges in the session court,Special Judge Chitra Bedi was re-instated on Wednesday to continue hearing the multi-crore fake stamp paper case involving Abdul Karim Telgi. Bedi was de-notified on Tuesday along with several other judges hearing the CBI and Narcotics cases.

The move was initiated after defence advocate IP Bagaria approached the principal judge of the sessions court requesting for Bedi to continue hearing cases related to Telgi as the trial has reached its final stage where all the evidence has been brought on record.

A fortnight back,CEO of MIDC,Radheshyam Mopalwar,was made an accused in the case after the defence had moved an application citing discrepancies.

Bedi was hearing an application made by one of the accused in the Telgi case seeking former chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and three officers of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to be made accused in a few cases.

Meanwhile,the Karnataka police handed over Telgi to the Solapur police in a cheating case on Wednesday. He will be produced before the court on Thursday for duping Azhar Fazal of Rs 28,000. Fazal had provided visas to Telgi and his aides to get a job abroad.
