Stating this, the Special Judge (CBI), Mr O.P.

Meanwhile, the lawyers of the accused – Mr Raja, his former personal secretary Mr R.K. Chandolia, three Reliance ADAG officials, Unitech Wireless' Mr Sanjay Chandra, Swan Telecom and Reliance Telecom Ltd – said the CBI has not provided them all the documents that were filed along with the chargesheet and ‘relied upon'. The court will take up their applications on Wednesday.
