Just in: The Delhi High Court has suspended the sentence against former Telecom Minister Sukhram in graft case and has granted him bail. On November 19, Sukhram was awarded five years imprisonment by a Delhi court after being convicted of taking Rs 3 lakh as bribe to give a lucrative contract to a private firm in 1996. 

However, on November 25, the Delhi high court sought the Central Bureau of Investigation's response on Sukhram's appeal challenging his conviction and sentencing. The court also sought 86-year-old Sukh Ram's medical report on his plea for suspension of sentence on health grounds and old age.
