 Jail doctor to decide if Kalmadi needs medical attention:Court
   New Delhi, Jul 21 (PTI) A Delhi court on Thursday
 asked the Tihar jail doctor to determine whether any follow up
 medical attention was required for sacked Commonwealth Games
 OC chief Suresh Kalmadi, who recently underwent an MRI brain
 scan.
   "MRI scan of brain of Kalmadi was done at the LNJP
 hospital, report has been received. The Jail doctor is
 directed to inform within next 3 days as to any following
 action is required," Special CBI Judge Talwant Singh said.
   Kalmadi also sought to know from the CBI, India's
 premier investigative agency if probe relating to the charge
 sheet is still on in the light of additional documents being
 filed by it.
   "The additional documents relate to the present charge
 sheet and further investigation is on," the CBI said.
   The charge sheet accuses Kalmadi and ten others,
 including two companies, of corruption, cheating, forgery
 and criminal conspiracy in awarding the Timing, Scoring and
 Result system contract to co-accused 'Swiss Timing' at an
 exorbitant rate causing a loss of over Rs 90 crore to the
 exchequer.
   Meanwhile, the court rejected requests made by OC's
 sacked treasurer M Jayachandran for soft mattresses in light
 of the report of the medical officer specifying no such
 medical need.
   His plea for home-made food was also dismissed. "As
 far as providing homemade food, the jail superintendent has
 informed that on days of meeting with the relatives, the
 accused are allowed to consume homemade food brought by
 relatives. On other days wholesome food is provided in jail,"
 the judge said. More PTI AKI
