New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to restrain CBI from filing chargesheet against f ormer telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran in Aircel-Maxis deal.
Maran has contended that under the law, the investigating agency could not file a chargesheet without completing the investigation.
The CBI has decided to go ahead with the filing of chargesheet following Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi's opining that there was enough evidence that the agency had gathered domestically to go ahead with the filing of the chargesheet against Maran in Aircel-Maxis deal that was concluded in 2006.
Rohtagi's opinion was sought following sharp differences between the CBI Director Ranjit Sinha and another director on launching prosecution.
Sinha held there was not sufficient evidence to proceed against Maran.
