The Delhi High Court today sought CBI's response on the bail plea of former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura, arrested for his alleged role in the 2G
spectrum case. 

Issuing notice to CBI, Justice Shali also asked the probe agency to file a status report by December 1, the date on which the bail pleas of other five accused including DMK MP Kanimozhi are also slated for hearing. 

Behura approached the high court, through senior counsel Aman Lekhi,  challenging denial of bail to him by the special CBI court which had refused him the relief saying the charges against him and other accused were of "very serious nature".
