Hyderabad,Aug. 12:. Justice Raja Elango of the AP High Court on Thursday refused to adjourn the hearing of the bail petition of B. Ramalinga Raju, prime accused in the multi-crore Satyam scam, for a month. Mr. T. Niranjan Reddy, special public prosecutor of the CBI, urged the judge to adjourn the case as the solicitor-general, Mr Gopal Subramanium, was unable attend the hearing on Thursday. It may be mentioned that the CBI had engaged the solicitor-general to oppose the Raju’s bail plea.
Mr Natrajan, the senior counsel appeared for the petitioner objected the CBI’s plea and urged the court to hear the case. The judge said that he cannot adjourn the case for such a long period and told the CBI counsel to get back after the lunch session with instructions from the solicitor-general.
After the lunch session, the CBI counsel told the court to adjourn the case for two weeks as Mr Gopal Subramanium would come to Hyderabad in two weeks. However, the judge posted the case to August 16 after Raju’s counsel expressed his inability to be available on the dates suggested by the CBI.
Meanwhile, Mr Ch Srisailam, the former finance manager of Satyam Computer Services Ltd withdrew his petition seeking to discharge him from the case.
