CBI officials today pasted at the residence of Loop Telecom promoters I P Khaitan and his wife Kiran the court summons seeking their presence before it in the 2G spectrum allocation case.

AIR correspondent quoting official sources reports that the CBI had pasted them as part of normal process of service of summons and it should not be construed as the addressees being absconding.

The agency officials reached the permanent address of Khaitan at New Friends Colony here to serve the summons but there was no one to receive them following which they pasted
the notices on the gates.

The special CBI court while taking cognizance of the agency's charge sheet had instructed all the accused to be present before it on 27th of this month which is the date of hearing.

The agency is also likely to undertake a similar exercise tomorrow when the summons will be served to the then vice-chairman Essar Group Ravi Ruia and promoter of Essar Group of Companies Anshuman Ruia at their Walkeshwar Road residence in Mumbai.
