A special court on Wednesday directed the CBI to allow extradited gangster Abu Salem [Images] an interview with two lawyers of his choice for an hour on every alternate day.

The order was passed by designated TADA Judge P D Kode, who heard a complaint made by Salem's lawyers Ashok Sarogi and O A Siddiqui that CBI was not following earlier orders of the court to this effect.

The judge made it clear to CBI that it was bound by its earlier order and that the agency should allow two lawyers to meet Salem and the choice of lawyers would totally depend upon the accused.

The special court also issued notice to Union Information and Broadcasting Secretary asking him to file replies to the plea of extradited underworld don Abu Salem for a ban on the media's publishing or telecasting reports about investigations relating to him and his companion Monica Bedi [Images].

The court asked Salem's lawyer to serve the notice which is returnable on November 21. Similar notices has been issued to the state of Maharashtra through the CBI.
