CHANDIGARH SEPT. 30 .The Shiromani Akali Dal president and former Punjab Chief Minister, Parkash Singh Badal, today informed the State Vigilance Bureau that he would be available for questioning on October 8 in connection with a corruption case against him.

In a 17-page letter to the Bureau, which had last week sought time from him to question him in the disproportionate assets case, Mr. Badal said he would be available for any ``examination'' at his residence here on October 8.

Bureau sources said that they had received Mr. Badal's communication and would question him at 10 am on October 8, the time and date proposed by the SAD chief.

Mr.Badal's son, Sukhbir Singh Badal, had been asked to appear before the Bureau on October 3, the sources said.
