Court Denies Accused's Travel Request in CBI Case
A man named Pareen Sanghvi, accused of cheating a bank, wanted to travel to many countries for his business.
But a judge said no.
He had asked to go to 23 countries for six months.
The judge said this was too long and could make it hard to continue the court case.
Sanghvi had been allowed to travel before, but the judge thought this new request was too broad and didn't have enough details.
The court agreed with the CBI, who were worried he might not come back for his trial if he left for so long.
A special court rejected Pareen Sanghvi's request to travel to 23 countries for business.
Sanghvi, director of Sanghvi Bullion Private Limited, is accused of cheating a public bank.
The court cited the indefinite travel duration and potential impact on the trial as reasons for denial.
Sanghvi had previously been granted bail with restrictions on international travel.
The CBI opposed the plea, fearing Sanghvi might not return for the trial.
