Aircel-Maxis case against Chidambarams ‘lingering on unnecessarily’: Court

“It is lingering on unnecessarily,” a Delhi court said on Wednesday even as it granted more time to the Central Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Directorate to obtain report on Letters Rogatory form the UK and Singapore in relation to their ongoing probe in the Aircel-Maxis case against former Union Minister P. Chidambaram and his son Karti.

Special Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar adjourned the matter, which is at the stage of taking cognizance, for February 1. The agencies have sought adjournment of the matter several times earlier as well.

The court allowed the request for more time after Additional Solicitor General Sanjay Jain, appearing for the CBI and ED, informed that the LRs have been sent to the countries and report on it is awaited.
