NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has rejected the plea of alleged AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam middleman Christian Michel James for release on the grounds that he has undergone the maximum seven years of incarceration over charges that led to his extradition from UAE in 2018.
"Considering the allegations under Section 467 ( forgery of valuable security , will, etc) of IPC, which entails life imprisonment, it cannot be said the accused has already undergone the period of maximum punishment prescribed for the alleged offences," judge Sanjay Jindal said in his order Thursday.
The question of whether IPC Section 467 could be applied will be decided at the stage of framing charges, the judge held. tnn
