A special CBI court in Mumbai has allowed the Bombay Dyeing chairman Nusli Wadia to depose in a 23-year-old case related to an attempt on his life.

"The prosecution is at liberty to examine the applicant (Wadia) as prosecution witness and if the prosecution has no desire to do so then the applicant will be examined as the court witness," said special judge A D Karanjkar in an order passed last week.
