A local court on Friday posted to January 19 hearing on a petition by market regulator Sebi seeking permission to question Satyam [Get Quote] Computer's former chairman Ramalinga Raju and two others.

The petition was filed before a magistrate court here seeking permission for interrogating Raju, his brother Rama Raju and Satyam's former chief financial officer Vadlamani Srinivas while they are in judicial custody.

Raju's lawyer had earlier sought a day's time to file a counter petition, following which the court posted the matter for hearing on Friday. However, it has now been posted for hearing on January 19.
