The CBI also brought to the notice of the court that senior advocate U U Lalit will be appointed as special public prosecutor for the trial in the 2G spectrum case before a special court exclusively set up for the purpose.
The court asked the law officer to take instructions and inform it by April 5 on notification on appointment of the special public prosecutor.
Batcha, 39, was found hanging in his home in Chennai on March 16.
He was the Managing Director of Greenhouse Promoters, a firm under the scanner of CBI and Enforcement Directorate in connection with the 2G spectrum scam. (ANI)
