Chennai: A designated CBI court will hear tomorrow the bail application of Sri Ramachandra University Chancellor and businessman V R Venkatachalam, arrested by the Central Investigative agency on charges of duty evasion on imported luxury cars.

Principal Sessions Judge for CBI cases, Justice R Krishnamoorthy remanded Ramachandra to 14 day judicial custody yesterday after he was produced before him.
