Batra filed an application before the special CBI judge C V Subramanyam seeking permision to meet her.

Disallowing the application, the judge asked the advocate to file it through proper channel as he did not submit no objection certificate from the counsel already representing the case on behalf of Monica Bedi.

Monica Bedi is in judicial remand till November 25 and she is lodged in Chanchalguda jail here on charges of passport forgery case.

Meanwhile, Monica Bedi's local lawyer G Babu Rao said jail authorities today refused to permit him to meet his client.
