New Delhi, April 22

The Supreme Court today refused to grant interim bail to AgustaWestland scam accused Christian Michel who had sought his release as he feared Covid-19 infection in the jail.

A Bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul agreed with the Delhi High Court’s finding that his apprehension of Covid-19 infection in prison was “unfounded”.

Michel (59) was extradited from Dubai and was arrested by the ED on December 22, 2018. He is one of the three alleged middlemen being probed by the ED and the CBI, the other two being Guido Haschke and Carlo Gerosa. He has been in judicial custody since January 5, 2019.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
