A city court today sought a report on the health condition of former chairman of Satyam Computer B Ramalinga Raju after he did not appear in a case pertaining to the multi-crore scam in the IT firm.
After expiry of their judicial custody today, nine of the Satyam scam accused appeared before the special court (Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court for Satyam scam cases).
But Raju, undergoing treatment for Hepatitis C at the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) was unable to attend the court proceedings.
The judge asked the defence counsel as to why Raju was not produced before the court and ordered the NIMS director to file a detailed report on Raju's health condition by March 5.
The court which extended the judicial remand of all the Satyam accused to March 5 will also take up the hearing on framing of charges against the accused on the same date.
Meanwhile, the defence counsels filed 14 miscellaneous petitions before the court on Satyam case after which the judge issued notices to the CBI to file their counter.
A local court last December had allowed a petition seeking continuation of in-patient treatment of Raju.
Raju is being treated for the past five weeks at the hospital and is doing well. So far five out of the required 45 injections have been administered, NIMS doctors said.
