The CBI on Thursday moved Madras High Court for cancellation of anticipatory bail given to former Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran in illegal telephone exchange case.

Earlier, the Madras High Court had granted interim anticipatory bail to former Telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran.

CBI has alleged that more than 300 high-speed telephone lines were provided at Maran's residence and extended to his brother's SUN TV channel to enable its uplinking.

It has named Maran and BSNL officials in the FIR filed in October 2013 following a preliminary inquiry in which the agency claimed to have found enough material to proceed with a regular case against the former minister.
