The Delhi High Court Monday sought responses from Christian Michel, arrested in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper case, and the Central Bureau of Investigation on Tihar Jail authorities’ plea challenging an order allowing him to make international phone calls in violation of prison rules.

Justice Mukta Gupta issued notices to Michel and the Central Bureau of Investigation on the plea by the jail authorities who have contended that the trial court judge had erred in passing the order allowing Michel to make overseas call.

It said that no facts and circumstances were considered by the trial court for granting an “illegal and improper privilege of communication”.
