Majithia, through his counsel, has also sought a copy of the “ground of arrest” papers. The court has issued a notice to the Vigilance Bureau (VB) for July 14 in the case.

The VB has informed the court that the search at Sainik Farms in Delhi has been completed and a pen drive submitted in the court. The bureau said its search regarding Saraya Industries was still on.

Majithia’s 14-day judicial custody ends on July 19 after which he will be produced in the court again.
