New Delhi, Nov 27: Refusing to permit custodial interrogation of former telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran in an alleged commercial use of high-speed Integrated Digital Switch Network for the family-owned Sun TV, the Supreme Court on Friday asked him to appear before the CBI from November 30 onwards.

The court said that he would cooperate in the investigation. The court also said that the investigating agency would also give him a questionnaire. (IANS)
