Advocate D P Singh, appearing for the agency, told the court there was nothing wrong if the media published or broadcast its contents as the court has already taken cognisance of the case and only the fresh accused had to be summoned. He said the plea filed by Michel should be dismissed as there was no merit in it.
Meanwhile, a UK-based legal team on behalf of AgustaWestland VVIP chopper case accused Christian Michel has approached the UN, alleging he was “unlawfully” handed over to India where he has been held in “squalid conditions” in violation of human rights and subjected to “torture”.
