No fresh instructions on 'Q' after ITAT order: CBI tells court
The CBI on Tuesday pleaded for withdrawal of proceedings against Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi in the over two-decade-old Bofors pay off case, saying it has got no fresh instructions from the government in the wake of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) order.
As soon as proceeding began before chief metropolitan magistrate Vinod Yadav, Supreme Court advocate Ajay Agarwal, who has challenged the CBI move, contended that the matter be re-looked into in view of the ITAT's recent order.
Mr Yadav then asked additional solicitor general P P Malhotra, appearing for CBI, whether it has received any fresh instructions on the issue.
Mr Malhotra replied that no fresh instructions have been given even as he sought withdrawal of case against 70-year-old Quattrocchi.
