SC extends deadline by 3 months for completing probe in Aircel-Maxis deal case

September 20, 2018 11:24

The Supreme Court Thursday extended by three months the deadline given to the Enforcement Directorate to complete the probe in the Aircel-Maxis deal case.

A bench of Justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan said the probe should be completed in three months. Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the ED, said the agency needs some two-three months to complete the probe as it needs to confront some accused with several e-mails.

The apex court had in March given the ED a six-month deadline to complete the probe in the case. The ED is probing a money-laundering case in the Aircel-Maxis matter arising out of 2G spectrum cases.-- PTI
