The properties of Dayanidhi Maran, image alongside, and his brother Kalanidhi, attached in the Aircel-Maxis deal case, should not be released, the Enforcement Directorate tells Supreme Court, and that the special 2G court should be directed not to accept bonds furnished by the Maran brothers after their discharge in the case yesterday.   


The SC has asked the ED to file a proper petition, and lists the matter for hearing at 2 pm today.


A special court in New Delhi, yesterday, discharged former Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran and his brother Kalanithi Maran and others in the Aircel-Maxis deal cases lodged by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate (ED). However, Thursday's (February 2) order would not have any effect on the two accused Malaysian nationals -- Ralph Marshall and T Ananda Krishnan -- as the court has already segregated the trial against them from that of Maran brothers and others.
