Supreme Court Refers Christian Michel's Release Plea to New Bench in AgustaWestland Chopper Scam Case

The Supreme Court has referred to another bench a plea by British national Christian Michel James seeking release from jail in the Rs 3,600-crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam case. Michel, extradited from Dubai in December 2018, challenges Article 17 of the India-UAE extradition treaty that allows prosecution for connected offenses. He claims to have completed seven years in jail by December 2025, serving the maximum sentence for offenses he was extradited for. The Delhi High Court had dismissed his petition on April 8, 2026.
