Satyam case: Hearing posted on March 31

A special court for economic offences here today posted the hearing of case filed by the serious fraud investigation office (SFIO) against B Ramalinga Raju and ten others in multi-crore Satyam computers fraud to March 31.

The accused sought the court to file Special Vakalat under Section 205 of CRPC (dispensing the personal attendance of the accused). The court ordered all the accused to appear before the court on March 31.

The SFIO, which filed seven complaints against 11 directors in the multi-crore Satyam accounting fraud case in the special court for Economic Offences in December last year, has been investigating the role of the accused in the scam.
