A special CBI court on Wednesday deferred the order on the investigating agency’s revision plea challenging a magistrate order withdrawing a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued against former Amnesty chief Aakar Patel to Saturday.
Special CBI judge Santosh Snehi Mann, while extending the stay on the magistrate’s order till Saturday, said the written arguments by the CBI were submitted on Wednesday and hence time was needed to go through them.
The court had put an interim stay on the order passed by the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate after the CBI challenged it in a revision petition. It had also directed Mr. Patel to not leave the country without its permission.
