Chidambaram on Tuesday said he had granted approval to the Aircel-Maxis deal “in the normal course of business.” “In the Aircel-Maxis case, taking into account the face value of the foreign investment, the FIPB submitted the case to the Finance Minister and sought approval.

During the brief hearing on Monday, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy told the Bench that he has received a reply from the CBI stating that it was probing “all angles”, including the FIPB clearance given to the deal by Mr. Chidambaram in 2006.
