A court here Friday reserved its order on the Central Bureau of Investigation's plea seeking voice sample of five accused in the Syndicate Bank bribery case.
Special CBI judge Swarna Kanta Sharma fixed Sep 23 for delivering its order on the CBI plea.
The CBI, in the plea, has requested the court to issue direction to take voice sample of the five accused including Bhushan Steel Ltd vice chairman Neeraj Singhal and Syndicate Bank chairman-cum-managing director S.K. Jain.
The investigating agency had contended that the case was based on intercepted telephonic conversations and specimen voice samples of these accused are required for its probe.
The accused have opposed the plea.
The CBI had Aug 2 arrested Jain for allegedly taking Rs.50 lakh as bribe for raising the credit limit of some companies in violation of banking rules. Singhal was arrested Aug 7.
