The court has fixed the matter for further hearing on July 10, the same date on which hearing against Karti Chidambaram, son of P Chidambaram, in Aircel-Maxis case is scheduled.

Chidambaram’s role has come under the scanner in the Rs 3,500 crore Aircel-Maxis deal in which the ED has already questioned his son, Karti.

The CBI arrested Karti in connection with the Aircel-Maxis case in February.

The ASCPL is allegedly linked to Karti Chidambaram.
