Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday granted bail to B Ramalinga Raju, the prime accused in multi-crore Satyam Computers accounting scam.
Harin P Raval, Additional Solicitor General, who argued the case on behalf of the CBI, had filed an application before the court requesting it to form a special team of doctors to look in to the health condition of Raju who is avoiding the court proceedings citing health grounds since September last.
He had said the CBI is doubtful about the veracity of the reports submitted by the Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) on Raju's health.
Arguing against the bail petition, Raval said the petition is not maintainable, as the Supreme Court while dismissing the bail plea filed by the petitioner earlier in March observed that the application can be renewed after some time. He had said the Apex Court did not specify that the petitioner should approach the high court at a later date for bail.
On July 20, Andhra Pradesh High Court granted bail to five accused including Raju's bother B Rama Raju and former CFO of Satyam Computers Vadlamani Srinivas in multi-crore Satyam Computers scam.
Except Ramalinga Raju, remaining nine accused in the case had been given bails from various courts on different occasions.
