Aircel-Maxis case: No arrest for P Chidambaram, son Karti till Nov 26
A
Delhi court on Thursday extended till November 26 the protection from arrest to
former Union minister P Chidambaram and his son Karti in the Aircel-Maxis
case filed by the CBI and ED.
Additional
Solicitor General Tusshar Mehta, appearing for the CBI and ED, told CBI Special
Judge O P Saini, "We have to meet a deadline and he (P Chidambaram) is not
cooperating."
He
also told the court that the CBI will file its reply to the anticipatory bail
application of P
Chidambaram on Thursday.
The
Enforcement Directorate (ED) had on Wednesday told the court that custodial
interrogation of former Union minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram was

was "evasive and non-cooperative" in the probe.
"From
the conduct of the petitioner, which gets amply demonstrated from the records
available, the investigating agency has reached a bona fide conclusion that in
the absence of custodial interrogation, it will not be possible to reach the
truth of the allegations as the petitioner has chosen to be evasive and
non-cooperative," the agency had said. Read
