Govt may move HC for fast-track court to hear Satyam case

The Centre is likely to approach the Andhra Pradesh High Court for setting up a fast-track court for hearing the Satyam case.

Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid had said day-to-day trial in the Satyam scam would be the top-most priority for the government.

"We are flagging it as our 100-day priority... One area of our 100 days priority is that we would like to see appropriate judicial order that would allow day-to-day trial," Khurshid had said.

CBI, which investigated the Rs 10,000-crore Satyam accounting fraud, has already filed chargesheet in the case.

Besides CBI, the Serious Fraud Investigation Office, an investigating arm of the Corporate Affairs Ministry, also probed probably the biggest corporate fraud in the country, and submitted a 14,000-page report to the government.

The SFIO, however, is awaiting the government nod to file a chargesheet in the Satyam case.
