A Delhi Court on Monday refused to grant stay on coercive action against businessman Navneet Kalra in the anticipatory bail application moved by him in connection with the recovery and seizure of Oxygen Concentrators by the Delhi Police last week.

While adjourning the bail plea for tomorrow, the Special Judge asked the Delhi Police to file a reply in the matter.

Kalra had sought interim relief of no coercive action on part of the Delhi Police and had also denied the allegations of hoarding in the case.

The Delhi Police had registered a case under various provisions of Indian Penal Code and also Essential Commodities Act for recovery of over 500 oxygen Concentrators from some restaurants in the national capital.

The case has been transferred to the Crime Branch last week.
