2G: The grounds on which Raja may seek relief

New Delhi: After spending close to 15 months behind the bars, former telecom minister A Raja will finally begin arguments for his bail applications. Sources say the CBI will oppose his bail but Raja's legal team will seek relief on the following grounds:

- Raja has been in jail since February, 2011. Since all his fellow co-accused have been granted bail, so it's about time Raja too was given that relief.

- The evidence in this case is documentary in nature and Raja needs to be out of the jail to assist his legal team in following those documents.

Sources say the CBI will oppose A Raja\'s bail but his legal team will seek relief on various grounds.

- The third reason is that he has to be present before the JPC and PAC, which are also carrying out a similar probe into the scam.

- The fourth reason that his legal team may give is that he is a person who has deep roots into the society and therefore, looking at his records he should be granted bail.
