2G scam: Karunanidhi's wife moves SC

July 08, 2013 12:26

Dayalu Ammal, wife of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam chief M Karunanidhi and a key prosecution witness in the 2G case, on Monday approached the Supreme Court, seeking its direction to exempt her from deposing before the Special CBI Court on medical grounds.

She filed her plea before the Apex court challenging the trial court's order refusing to exempt her from appearing as a witness in the case.

82-year-old Ammal had earlier approached the Delhi high court but it had on July 4 asked her to move the apex court for relief.

The high court had also asked CBI to ensure that no coercive order is passed by the trial court till lunch time on Monday, July 8, the day when Ammal has been summoned to appear before the trial court as a prosecution witness.

The high court had asked Ammal to move the apex court as the 2G case is being monitored by it.
