Former Satyam Chairman B Ramalinga Raju has challenged the verdict in the financial scam by the special court on Thursday.
He moved a petition in the Sessions Court at Nampally on Monday, questioning the judgment that sentenced him to seven years.
Raju, his brother and former Managing Director of Satyam Rama Raju, and eight others were imposed a jail term of 7 years and a fine. The 10 accused in the Rs 7,123 crore scam were convicted on several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
These include fudging, criminal breach of trust, cheating, forgery, impersonation and destruction of evidence. All the convicted were shifted to the Cherlapally jail the same day.
While delivering the judgment, the court allowed them to seek relief in a higher court.
On the judgment day, Raju pleaded for relief in the special court saying that his family was depended on him and also asked the court to consider the social service he had done.
