The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which had earlier concluded its submissions on the issue of 'leave to appeal', had to start arguing afresh due to change of judge

The high court's order came on a plea by acquitted individual and Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd director Asif Balwa that the CBI has not placed on record the mandatory authority under the provisions of the CrPC

 Dismissing the plea by former telecom minister A Raja and others, the high court said an amendment in the Prevention of Corruption Act does not apply to the offences already taken place

High court also rejected prayer by some of acquitted individuals seeking to direct government to place on record documents containing process to be followed before taking a decision to file an appeal

The Delhi High Court has transferred all cases pertaining to Aircel-Maxis scam, involving P Chidambaram and his son, from Special Judge OP Saini to Special Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar
