New Delhi, Sep 19 (IANS): A court here Friday reserved its order on the Central Bureau of Investigation's plea seeking voice sample of five accused in the Syndicate Bank bribery case.
Special CBI judge Swarna Kanta Sharma fixed Sep 23 for delivering its order on the CBI plea.
The CBI, in the plea, has requested the court to issue direction to take voice sample of the five accused including Bhushan Steel Ltd vice chairman Neeraj Singhal and Syndicate Bank chairman-cum-managing director S.K. Jain.
