Re-upped Round up: August 6

The Hindustan Times has reported that the Delhi High Court on Tuesday firmly slammed the door on Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) aspiring to represent India in international sports events, saying they owe their allegiance to their adopted countries. Upholding the Sports Ministry's policy, the court said, "There is a justification in insisting that only Indian passport holders should represent India in an international sporting event. Those with foreign passports obviously owe their allegiance to the countries of which they hold passport." The Deccan Chronicle has reported on how the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has engaged the Solicitor General of India to oppose the bail petition of B. Ramalinga Raju, the prime accused in the multi crore Satyam scam, before the Andhra Pradesh High Court. T. Niranjan Reddy, the special public prosecutor of the CBI, on Thursday, informed Justice Raja Elango that the Solicitor General, Gopal Subramanium, will appear in the case, and urged the judge to adjourn the matter to August 12.
