Supreme Court dismisses plea by Christian Michel James in AgustaWestland case challenging bail conditions, citing lack of local address.
The Supreme Court on Thursday (May 29. 2025) dismissed a plea filed by alleged middleman Christian Michel James in the ₹3,600-crore AgustaWestland money laundering case, who had challenged the Delhi High Court's order directing him to furnish details of the address where he intended to reside post-release on bail in the ₹3,600-crore AgustaWestland money laundering case.

James, who is alleged to be a middleman in the case, had challenged the May 22 order of the High Court which modified his bail conditions.
The plea came up for hearing before a Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sanjay Kumar.
"We granted you bail and you don't even want to fulfil a condition of providing a local address," the Bench told the counsel appearing for James.
The lawyer, appearing for the Enforcement Directorate (ED), said the high court's order was in favour of James.
"Then what is his problem?" the Bench asked.
