The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to alleged middleman Christian Michel James, who spent six years in custody, in the purported Rs 3,600-crore AgustaWestland case of the CBI.<\/p>\n

A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta observed James was in custody for the past six years while the investigation in the matter was still underway.<\/p>\n

The top court said James would be released on bail, subject to terms and conditions decided by the trial court.<\/p>\n

The alleged scam relates to the purchase of 12 VVIP helicopters from chopper design and manufacturing company AgustaWestland.<\/p>\n

James moved the apex court challenging the Delhi High Court’s September 25, 2024 order refusing him bail in the case.<\/p>\n

James, a British national, was extradited from Dubai in December, 2018, and was subsequently arrested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
