Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khursheed 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,” Khursheed had said.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, according to sources, is in talks with CBI to jointly prosecute the persons involved in the multi-crore Satyam scam.
While the prosecution for violation of the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, will be filed by the Ministry at Hyderabad court, the charges under the Indian Penal Code could be taken up jointly by the Ministry along with CBI.
