A CBI special court trying the Satyam Computers scam on Friday directed Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) to produce a fresh medical report on the health of Satyam Computers' former chairman B Ramalinga Raju before it by June 7.
Raju, the prime accused in the multi-crore financial fraud, who is undergoing treatment for Hepatitis C at the NIMS, has not been attending court proceedings since September last due to ill health.
Magistrate B V L N Chakravarti said a medical report on the health of Raju was last received on April 17. He called for a fresh medical report from the NIMS Director on Raju's health and adjourned the case to June 7.
The court also posted the next hearing on the CBI's plea to examine Raju through video-conferencing to June 7.In view of Raju not appearing before the court, the CBI had sought permission to establish a video link with NIMS to expedite the proceedings.
The court wants to examine all the 10 accused, including Raju, with regard to the allegations mentioned against them by the CBI in two separate chargesheets, before commencing the trial. The court, meanwhile, extended the judicial remand of the accused to June 7.
