The Madras High Court on Wednesday set aside a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court's order, which discharged media tycoon Kalanaithi Maran and his brother and former Union minister Dayanidhi Marana in the BSNL illegal telephone exchange case.

The court rejected the preliminary objection raised by them against the appeal moved by the CBI challenging a special court’s order discharging them from the case.

Justice G Jayachandran remitted back the case to the special court for CBI cases and directed the court to continue the trial and complete framing of charges within 12 months.
