HC seeks Marans' reply on CBI plea in Aircel-Maxis graft case

May 22, 2017 12:45

The Delhi high court today sought responses from former Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran, his brother and industrialist Kalanithi Maran and others on a CBI plea challenging their discharge in the Aircel-Maxis graft case.

Justice I S Mehta issued the notices on the Central Bureau of Investigation's plea against the February 2 order of a special court discharging all the accused in the case.

The high court asked the Maran brothers to respond to the plea and fixed the matter for hearing on August 29.

The special court, while discharging all the accused, had said no prima facie case warranting framing of charges was made out against them on the basis of the material placed on record before it.

The high court had earlier sought responses from the Maran brothers on a separate plea filed by the Enforcement Directorate challenging their discharge in a Aircel-Maxis deal-related money-laundering case.
