Judge U D Salvi deferred the framing of charges on Thursday as Telgi's lawyer Jaydeep Thakker sought time.

Telgi was not produced before the Central Bureau of Investigation court, but the judge, through video conferencing, instructed the superintendent of Yerwada prison in Pune to ensure that Telgi be presented on March 23.

The judge also told the jailor to allow Telgi's lawyer to meet his client in jail for two hours on any working day.
