A Delhi court today deferred its order till August 7 on the objections raised by a lawyer against CBI’s plea of withdrawal of the two-decade-old Bofors gun deal payoff case against Italian businessman Octtavio Quattrocchi.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Kaveri Baweja was to deliver the order today but due to the absence of case records, which are lying with the apex court, she posted the matter for further proceedings on August 7.

“Since the documents pertaining to this case are with the Supreme Court, the city court can not pass any order,” said Baweja.

The CBI had on October 3 had moved an application before the court to quash all charges against Quattrocchi, saying the case cannot be kept pending forever after its failure on two occasions to get the 71-year-old Italian businessman extradited from Malaysia and Argentina to face trial in India.
