A Delhi court today deferred the pronouncement of its order on a plea by an advocate opposing CBI's move to withdraw the two-decade-old Bofors pay-off case against Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi.<br/><br/>Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kaveri Baweja posted the matter for further proceedings on August 7 in view of the case records lying with the Supreme Court. Additional Solicitor General P P Malhotra, appearing for CBI, submitted before the court that the probe agency has filed an application in the apex court seeking its direction to send back the case records to the trial court.<br/><br/>The CBI application is likely to come up for hearing in the Supreme Court on the 13th of this month. Quattrocchi, the sole surviving accused in the case after the Delhi High Court quashed the charges on May 31, 2005, against other accused, has never appeared before any court in the country.<br/><br/>CBI had failed on two occasions in its attempt to get Quattrocchi extradited-first from Malaysia in 2003 and then from Argentina in 2007.<br/><br/>In November last year, the agency had asked the Interpol to take Quattrocchi's name off the Red Corner notice list.
