The Supreme Court on Thursday gave a three-month extension to investigative agencies to complete their probe into the alleged irregularities in grant of FIPB approval to the Aircel-Maxis deal.

The CBI and the Enforcement Directorate were supposed to complete their investigation into the case by September 12. Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the ED and the CBI, sought more time.

The two agencies have been investigating Aircel/Maxis telecom owner and Malaysian accused T. Ananda Krishnan and Ralph Marshall.
