AgustaWestland case: HC gives two weeks to CBI to file reply on Christian James’ bail plea
The HinduThe Delhi High Court on Wednesday gave the Central Bureau of Investigation two weeks’ more to file its response to the bail plea of Christian Michel James, an alleged middleman, relating to the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam cases, after the agency said it was about to file a charge sheet in the matter. Justice Anu Malhotra asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to file its response before November 29, the next date of hearing, after the agency said it was going to file a charge sheet in the corruption case and that it will contain names of public servants and bureaucrats. The CBI sought time from the court to file its response around the same time it will file its charge sheet in the case. In his plea for regular bail in the corruption case being probed by the CBI, Michel has contended that the entire case depends on documentary evidence which has already been collected by the investigation agency and produced before the special court.
