The Supreme Court has refused Central Bureau of Investigation Director Ranjit Sinha's plea to restrain media from broadcasting and publishing news stories on the basis of the visitors list of his residence.

The Court's refusal came in the wake of reports in media which claimed that top executives of a company indicted in 2G scam had met the CBI Director at his residence several times.

Quoting the visitors diary of the residence of the CBI Director, advocate Prashnat Bhushan on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that agency's director is being influenced by the accused companies in the 2G scam.

A bench headed by Justice H L Dattu said, it had gone through the documents and it is desirable that they be placed on affidavit. The Court will consider the documents pertaining to entry list on Monday.

Senior advocate Vikas Singh, appearing for Ranjit Sinha, raised questions on the veracity and source of the documents.

He submitted that director's right to privacy and reputation was involved in the case and pleaded before the bench to restrain media.

The advocate also raised questions on how the documents got leaked despite apex court's order that they should be placed before it in a sealed envelope.

Ranjit Sinha has already said that all the allegations against him are patently false.

The CBI director is at the centre of a controversy after an NGO had told the Supreme Court that entry register of his residence portrays a very disturbing and explosive material coming in the way of administration of justice in 2G spectrum allocation scam.

Yesterday, the CBI had clarified that media reports alleging that few officials of a private company tried to influence CBI in 2G Case are false, baseless and malicious.
