The Delhi High Court today refused to allow the use of iPad to Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables director Asif Balwa, who is lodged in Tihar Jail in connection with 2G spectrum scam, and asked the accused to suggest an alternative reading device. After going through the records submitted by the Tihar jail officials, Justice S Muralidhar said the iPad cannot be made available to Balwa as the report states that all the software installed in it may not be disabled and the accused can take advantage of it.
The High Court had, earlier, allowed the use of iPad to Balwa but given two-day deadline to the jail authorities asking them to submit how they can disable the communication facilities in the iPad, which the accused wanted for reading the 80,000-page charge sheet filed by CBI against him. The High Court had directed the jail authorities to hand over the iPad to the Delhi Information Technology department for the reason it enable the petitioner to use the gadget as a communication device.
The High Court, however, gave liberty to Balwa to suggest an alternative reading device which cannot be used for sending e-mails or any other communication.
Balwa is lodged in the Tihar jail along with former Communications Minister A Raja and DMK Rajya Sabha MP K Kanimozhi among others in connection with the 2G scam.
