Ramalinga Raju Files Review Petition For Bail
SATYAM founder Ramalinga Raju has filed a Criminal Review Petition in the Supreme Court for review of the order of the Supreme Court cancelling the bail granted to him by the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The Supreme Court had allowed the appeal filed by CBI and cancelled the bail granted by the High Court.
Last month I had seen Ramalinga Raju appearing before the Economic Offences court. A frail looking Raju walked in slowly and sat on a wooden bench along with other accused of various criminal charges. Every person in the court room had a visible expression of sympathy for the poor man. I had once attended the AGM of Satyam Computers where Raju was the handsome hero, anywhere near whom I could not hope to get. Now here was the same Raju sitting just behind me on a wooden bench as an accused and I am allowed a better seat by virtue of being an advocate. Many feel that if Raju has to be in jail, most of our businessmen and politicians richly deserve to be in jail too, but some of them are running governments! And Raju is in jail for more than two years!!!
