Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge S.C. Rajan allowed the probe agency to quiz chartered accountant Khemchand Gandhi and Paresh Chimanlal Buddhadev, a partner in private firm Chitale Associates, till March 21.
The probe agency, while seeking custodial interrogation of both the accused, told the court that they have to be confronted with other suspects in the case.

The six were presented before the court in connection with the leakage and sale of confidential government documents stolen from various ministries.
Daljeet Singh, an upper division clerk in the department of industrial policy and promotion (DIPP), was arrested from his hideout in the capital on Monday.
The CBI has alleged that Daljeet Singh was allegedly providing confidential documents to his counterparts in the finance ministry who in turn were giving them away to the Mumbai-based chartered accountant, and later passed to various corporate houses.

Gandhi was arrested from Mumbai during the raid conducted by the CBI.
Investigators said Daljeet Singh used to provide documents of the commerce ministry to Ashok Kumar and Lala Ram who passed them to Gandhi.
The CBI had on March 13 arrested two more people -- Ram Niwas, an assistant in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) under the finance ministry, along with Paresh Chimanlal Buddhadev.
The probe agency also revealed the the alleged role of a representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), a multi-national firm which provides tax and consulting services, and was being probed.
