They were issued summons by the court of CBI Special Judge on 21 December, 2010, for a hearing related to Rs 6.58 crore Ghaziabad PF-scam case scheduled on Thursday.

Instead, the six former judges sought exemption from personal appearance citing personal, health and other reasons.

CBI had filed a supplementary chargesheet against 78 persons, including these six in July.
