Karunanidhi not to press for bail

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, JULY 2. The DMK president and former Chief Minister, Mr. M. Karunanidhi, today decided not to press for bail in the alleged fly-over scam case in which he has been arrested.

Despite his frail health, Mr. Karunanidhi was prepared to ``face the charges from prison'', even if it meant a long haul, his lawyer, Mr. R. Shanmugasundaram, former State Public Prosecutor, told the media after a 30-minute meeting with him in the Central prison here.

``He has requested us not to move the bail application,'' he said. ``We won't appear in the court tomorrow when it comes up,'' said senior Counsel, Mr. K.V. Venkatapathy, who also met the DMK leader along with another lawyer, Mr. Wilson.
