Ramalinga case posted to august 5

Hyderabad, July 02: The Special Court trying the Satyam Computers’ former chairman Ramalinga Raju in the multi-million rupee scam has posted further hearing of the case to August 5.

Dr Ajit of the NIMS Hospital, who is treating Ramalinga Raju has appeared before the court and deposed that the count of white cells in the accused’s blood has decreased and lost immunity power. He also said that the hospital doctors would take a decision on the need to continue medical treatment to Raju after July 14.

The defence counsel for Raju has argued that the accused’s life would be in danger if he was brought before the court. However, the CBI prosecutor urged the court to permit interrogation of the accused through video conferencing as his ill-health was delaying investigation.
The court, after hearing arguments of both sides, has posted the case for further hearing to August 5. (NSS)
