February 19, 2025

The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to Christian James Michel in the AgustaWestland case being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation, taking exception to the agency's failure to begin trying the case.

NEW DELHI:

Michel, who was extradited to India from Dubai in December 2018, is also in custody in a separate criminal case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) being probed by the Enforcement Directorate. He requires bail in the ED case as well to be released from jail. His bail plea in the Delhi high court is tentatively listed on Wednesday.

Deciding his bail plea, a bench of justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta said, "This is the worst kind of incarceration where CBI has not completed trial despite filing two charge sheets and documents relied by you have not been given to him."
