The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday approached the Delhi High Court challenging the April 16 trial court order which upheld the earlier court order setting aside the Lookout Circular (LOC) issued against the former Chairman of Amnesty International, India, Aakar Patel. As Justice Talwant Singh recused from the case on Wednesday, the matter was posted for May 13.

The central probe agency moved to the high court citing the order limited the extent of legal observations. The Special CBI Judge of the Rouse Avenue Court on April 16 had upheld an earlier order directing the CBI to withdraw its Lookout Circular issued against Aakar Patel.
