In a related development, accused Parvez Zulfikar Qureshi would surrender before the court after the judge refused to further extend his interim bail and asked him to surrender on December 9.

The court had earlier referred him to the medical board of the government-owned j j hospital for a check up and asked the doctors to opine whether he could be treated in custody.
The court also curtailed exemption granted to Sanjay and 88 others and asked them to appear on December 9 without fail.
The judge P D Kode warned the accused that he would issue non bailable arrest warrant if they failed to turn up on that day.
According to CBI, some accused were suspected to have left the jurisdiction of the court. As one of the conditions for granting them exemption from appearance was to remain in city limits, the court has summoned them tomorrow to ascertain whether they had violated the judicial orders.
The CBI would also produce accused Mansoor Qureshi today. The court had issued Non Bailable Arrest warrant against him as he had absented himself from the trial since September 21 without permission.
