Hyderabad, June 08: A special CBI court trying the Satyam scam today posted to June 9 the hearing of the CBI’s plea for examining main accused in the scam B Ramalinga Raju through video-conferencing, in connection with the multi-crore accounting fraud in Satyam Computers.
The Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), where Raju had been undergoing treatment for Hepatitis-C, today did not submit medical report on Raju’s health condition as directed by the court in the last hearing.
On June 4, Magistrate BVLN Chakravarti said the medical report about health condition of Raju was last received on April 17 and called for fresh medical report from NIMS director to be submitted today.
However, the NIMS authorities said they received a letter from the court seeking a report on Raju’s health condition on Saturday evening and could not prepare the report on time.
“We have received the letter from the Court on Ramalinga Raju’s health on Saturday evening. We will prepare a report and submit to the court,’’ NIMS director Dasari Prasada Rao said.
Raju, the prime accused in the multi-crore financial fraud in Satyam Computers, is not attending the court proceedings since September last year citing health reasons.
Meanwhile, after hearing a plea submitted by two other co-accused in the case — Rama Krishna and Venkatapati Raju — to use computers in the jail, the court directed the Chenchalguda prison authorities to submit a feasibility report if they can use a computer in the prison.
The CBI counsel informed the court that they had no objection to the accused using computers in the prison premises provided they are not using the Internet.
