The Delhi High Court will on Tuesday deliver its verdict on the bail plea of alleged middleman Christian Michel James in the Rs 3,600-crore AgustaWestland money laundering case. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, who reserved the verdict on February 28 after hearing the parties, is scheduled to pronounce the judgement at 4 pm. The Supreme Court granted bail to him in the CBI case on February 18. Probe agencies reported irregularities in the purchase of 12 VVIP helicopters from Italian manufacturing company AgustaWestland. The ED's counsel had opposed Michel's plea, saying the British national did not meet the "twin tests" for grant of bail under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and was a flight risk. Michel's lawyer sought the relief on grounds that he had already spent a substantial amount of time in custody. He had submitted while the anti-money laundering law has a maximum punishment of seven years, he spent over six years in jail. James was extradited from Dubai in December
