New Delhi: A Delhi court on Wednesday allowed 2G case accused former telecom minister A Raja and DMK MP Kanimozhi to cast their vote in the presidential poll on Thursday.
Central Bureau of Investigation Special Judge OP Saini granted Mr Raja and Ms Kanimozhi exemption from personal appearance in court on Thursday, allowing them to vote in the election to the high post.
