Hyderabad, March 10 :The AP High Court registry on Tuesday refused to grant permission to M Ramalinga Raju and his associates to move a house motion to avoid interrogation by the Central Bureau of Investigation.


The Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, on Monday had remanded B.Ramalinga Raju, B Rama Raju, Vadlamani Srinivas, and Price Water House auditors Gopalakrishnan and Talluri Srinivas, to CBI custody for seven days from March 10.


Counsel for the accused approached the High Court seeking permission to move ahouse motion against the orders of the lower court. House motions are entertained by the registry in cases of urgent matters when the High Court was not in session.


The High Court is on holiday for Milad-un Nabi and Holi , it will resume work from Thursday.

The registry refused the plea of the counsels of Raju and his associates and advised them to bring up their petition in the normal court schedule on Thursday.
