The CBI sought time from the court to file its response around the same time it will file its charge sheet in the case. The court, thereafter, listed Michel’s bail pleas in the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) cases on November 29. The special CBI court had denied him relief, saying there was no sufficient ground to grant bail. On January 5 this year, he was sent to judicial custody in the ED case. Michel is among the three alleged middlemen being probed in the case by the ED and the CBI.
