A Delhi court on Friday rejected former Telecom Minister A Raja’s plea to appear in Supreme Court. Raja on Wednesday had sought the permission of the court to argue his case in the apex court.

He had also refused to file his reply to the charges related to criminal breach of trust saying that he would not do so unless the CBI clarified on the status of the probe. 

The trial court had finished hearing the arguments for and against those imprisoned in the case and was scheduled to frame charges -- to effectively decide if those arrested would stand trial. The CBI's new charges delay that process; consequently, bail cannot be decided for the people in jail. 

Raja's counsel also said that the CBI is playing with the court as over here they have said that it has completed its investigation in the FIR filed against all the accused. 

Raja, DMK MP Kanimozhi and top executives of several telecom companies have been arrested by the CBI in connection with the 2G spectrum allocation scam.
