NEW DELHI, INDIA: The Delhi High Court today issued a notice to the Central Bureau

of Investigation (CBI) on the bail application filed by former telecom secretary Siddhartha Behura. The court asked the probe agency to submit its reply by December 1.

Behura is one of the 14 accused in the 2G spectrum allocation scandal lodged in the Tihar jail. His counsel Aman Lekhi challenged the bail plea dismissed by the trial court. Lekhi said that the trial in the case has already begun and there should be no fear of tampering with the evidence or influencing the witnesses.

The investigation agency will also file a reply on December 1 to the bail pleas of other five accused that include DMK Rajya Sabha MP Kanimozhi, in the case following the previous Delhi High Court notice.
