Former telecom minister A Raja was on Wednesday allowed by a special CBI special court here to visit Tamil Nadu between June 8 and June 30.

Special CBI Judge O P Saini allowed the plea in which the DMK MP said he had not visited Tamil Nadu for the past one-and-a-half years.

Raja had sought courts permission also on the ground that the trial proceedings would not be undertaken from June 9 to June 30 owing to summer vacation. A Raja is allowed to visit his home state Tamil Nadu from June 8 to June 30 subject to conditions as were imposed upon him in the bail order dated May 15, the judge said.

The court had directed Raja not to make any inducement,threat or promise,either directly or indirectly,to any person acquainted with the case. It had also asked Raja to surrender his passport and said he should remain present before it during the hearing.
