 "Ramalinga Raju's appeal yet to be numbered")
The appeal filed by Satyam Computer Services Limited (SCSL) founder B Ramalinga Raju and others at a metropolitan sessions court here against their conviction by a special court is yet to be numbered by the court registry.
Those familiar with the development said the registry had raised certain objections regarding maintainability of the case before a metropolitan sessions court as the appellants were convicted by a special court set up under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The special court last Thursday awarded seven years of rigorous imprisonment to Ramalinga Raju, his brother and former managing director B Rama Raju , and eight others in the SCSL case, which had been touted as the biggest corporate fraud in the country.
Legal sources said Raju’s lawyers now need to satisfy the sessions court on its jurisdiction to take up the matter.
