Today, On 20th December, The Delhi Court ordered the release of Christian Michel from custody in the Enforcement Directorate case after he completed the maximum seven-year sentence under the PMLA. However, he will continue to remain in jail due to the pending CBI corruption case.
Today, On 24th November, The Delhi High Court has sought the Centre’s response on Christian Michel’s plea challenging the India–UAE extradition treaty in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam. Michel has contested the trial court’s order rejecting his request for release from jail.
The Delhi High Court refused to entertain Christian Michel’s plea challenging Article 17 of the India–UAE Extradition Treaty, stating that treaties are not parliamentary laws that can be declared illegal. Michel has been allowed to file a fresh, properly framed petition.
