NEW DELHI: A special CBI court on Friday frowned upon a direct communication to it from the British High Commission in the matter concerning bail of Christian Michel James who is in judicial custody in the AgustaWestland chopper case.
Special Judge Arvind Kumar in his order rejected the bail petitions of Michel James.
“It needs to be mentioned that British High Commission has sent a letter addressed to this court stating that medical condition of accused Christian Michel James and his pre-trial detention of two-and-a-half years may be taken into account when his bail application is considered,” he said.
The court said it had been made clear earlier that such direct communication is not permissible.
