Raju, the prime accused in the Satyam scam, is undergoing treatment for Hepatitis-C at NIMS Hospital here and has not been attending court proceedings since last September.
The affidavit of former chairman of Satyam Computers B Ramalinga Raju, offering to personally appear before a local court for examination in the multi-crore rupee accounting fraud in the IT firm, will come up for hearing tomorrow.
Raju, the prime accused in the Satyam scam, is undergoing treatment for Hepatitis-C at NIMS Hospital here and has not been attending court proceedings since last September.
Raju, in a memo filed through his counsel last week in the XXI additional chief metropolitan magistrate (ACCM) court had sought to 'dispel' the impression on his part and said he would appear before the court in person even 'at the cost of risk to his health'.
Raju’s counsel said his client was compelled to file this memo in view of contention of the prosecution (CBI) and unnecessary propaganda in the media that he (Raju) was purposefully delaying the process of trial.
The memo said Raju is in hospital for treatment not by his choice.
The court wants to examine all the ten accused, including Raju, following two CBI charge sheets, before commencing the trial and had last week adjourned the matter to August 11, following request by one of the accused.
Magistrate BVLN Chakravarti had earlier said Raju will be examined through a questionnaire (that will be served on him through his counsel at the hospital) , while the remaining nine accused would be examined in the court itself.
All the accused in the case except Raju are out on bail. They all are facing charges of criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, cheating, forgery and falsification of accounts after the accounting scam broke in January last
