The order of the Supreme Court was made on the bail pleas of Kanimozhi and Sharad Kumar and we are bound to obey it," senior counsel Ahmed said.
The court also deferred the arguments on the bail pleas of five other accused by October 3.
The court fixed for October 3 the bail pleas of A Raja's former private secretary R K Chandolia, Swan Telecom promoter Shahid Usman Balwa, directors of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Asif Balwa and Rajiv Agarwal and director of Cineyug Films Karim Morani.
Counsel for Shahid Balwa and others pressed that the bail plea of their clients should be heard on Monday, saying the apex court had passed that order on the bail pleas of Kanimozhi and Sharad Kumar and not on their clients' applications.
Counsels Sushil Kumar and Aftab Ahmed said the court may hear on Monday the bail pleas of five other accused.
"You (court) can segregate us from them (other accused) and can take their bail pleas on Monday. We will argue on Kanimozhi and Sharad Kumar's bail on October 17," the defence counsel said.
The CBI, however, had yesterday opposed the bail pleas of the seven accused in the case on the ground that as per the Supreme Court order, their bail pleas could be entertained only after the framing of charges.
The daughter of DMK chief M Karunanidhi is lodged in Tihar Jail since May 20 for her alleged role in the 2G scam. Kanimozhi along with Sharad Kumar had moved court for bail for the second time on September 16.
Opposing the plea of Kanimozhi, the agency in its reply had said that she was the "active brain" behind the operations of Kalaignar TV in which she also held 20 per cent stake.
Initially, she was also a director of the channel and had a role in "re-appointment" of A Raja as Telecom Minister.
"Kanimozhi was a stakeholder of Kalaignar TV Pvt Ltd to the tune of 20 per cent equity and was an active brain behind its operations. She was also widely covered by Kalaignar Seithigal (News) Channel," CBI said.
CBI, which opposed the plea of six others, however, said the "court may take an appropriate view as per law" while considering the health condition of Karim Morani.
