Aircel-Maxis case: Court displeased over delay in probe against Chidambaram, Karti

A Delhi court Wednesday expressed displeasure over delay in completion of probe in Aircel-Maxis matter against former Union minister P Chidambaram and his son Karti while granting two more months to the CBI, the Enforcement Directorate to do so.

Special Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar allowed both the agencies’ plea seeking more time to obtain report on Letters Rogatory (LRs) form the UK and Singapore in relation to their ongoing probe in the matter, and said “it is lingering on unnecessarily”.

The court adjourned the matter, which is at the stage of taking cognizance, for February 1.

The agencies have sought adjournment of the matter several times before.
