File report in Aircel-Maxis case in 2 weeks: CBI court

New Delhi: A Special CBI Court here on Friday directed the CBI and the ED to file a status report in the Aircel-Maxis case allegedly involving former Finance Minister P Chidambaram and his son Karti.

Issuing directions, Sujata Kohli, the newly appointed District Judge at the Rouse Avenue Court, observed that the allegations mentioned in the charge sheet appeared to be “quite serious in nature”.

Taking note of her predecessor OP Saini’s order to adjourn the matter sine die, Kohli said that she was not inclined to adjourn the matter at all and all adjournments were being given reluctantly, adding that there was no concept or term as ‘adjourned sine die’ under the CrPC.

“I am of the considered opinion that keeping this matter as ‘adjourned sine die’, would not be conducive to the interest of justice and the file is revived/restored to its original number. The CBI and the Enforcement Directorate are directed to file fresh/up-to-date status reports,” the Judge said. (IANS)
