Special CBI judge S H Galwani denied the plea filed by Sachin Waze, in which he claimed that he was entitled to default bail, as no chargesheet had been filed against him in the case.
Waze, in his plea filed through advocate Raunak Naik, said no final report has been filed against him and hence, he is entitled to default bail under relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).
The CBI last month had filed a chargesheet in the case, which also involves former Maharashtra home minister and NCP leader Anil Deshmukh and his aides Sanjeev Palande and Kundan Shinde.
In February, the CBI had formally arrested Waze, though he has not been named in the chargesheet.
The special CBI court had recently accepted the dismissed policeman's plea to turn approver and seek pardon in the corruption case.
The CBI had lodged an FIR against Deshmukh, Waze and others following an order of the Bombay High Court.
Besides the Antilia bomb scare and the corruption case, Waze is also accused in a money-laundering case being probed by the ED. He has also written to the central agency stating that he wants to turn approver in the case.
