Special CBI Judge S C Rajan allowed the plea after accused Ram Niwas, a private person, said he had no objection if the agency's application was allowed.
"After going through the contents of the application filed by inspector Anand Swarup, it is submitted by the accused that he does not want to file reply to this application and he has no objection in allowing of the same, as he is ready to give his handwriting and specimen signatures...," the court said.
Niwas and five other accused were arrested by CBI in the case in which the agency had earlier informed the court that a large number of "incriminating" documents had been seized from the accused, who were alleged to be procuring and passing on classified documents to others.
The co-accused in the case are -- Ashok Kumar Singh, who was working as under-secretary in Department of Disinvestment in the Finance Ministry, Lala Ram Sharma, a section officer in the Department of Economic Affairs and Daljeet Singh, upper division clerk in Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion of Ministry of Commerce and Industries.
