A Delhi Court on Thursday gave time till May 4 to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) to complete probe in the Aircel-Maxis case against former Union Minister P Chidambaram and his son Karti Chidambaram.
After hearing submissions on behalf of the probe agencies, Special Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar adjourned the matter till May 4 for completing the investigation.
The CBI and ED have sought more time to complete the probe, saying that Letters Rogatory have been sent to four countries and their response were awaited in connection with the case.
Letters Rogatory is issued by courts on the request of an investigation agency when it wants information from another country.
On September 5, 2019, the case was adjourned 'sine die' without fixing any date for hearing with the court noting that the two probe agencies were seeking "adjournment after adjournment".
On January 28, 2020, the court "revived" the cases filed by the CBI and the ED against Chidambaram and his son on the plea of Investigating Agency.
The Investigating Agencies are probing how Karti received the clearance from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) for the Aircel Maxis deal in 2006 when his father was the Finance Minister.
The agencies alleged that P Chidambaram, as Finance Minister during the United Progressive Alliance rule, granted approval to the deal beyond his capacity benefitting certain persons, and received kickbacks.
