The Court allowed a separate application of former Air Chief seeking quashing of LOC issued against him and directed the CBI to inform the concern authorities regarding this.

Tyagi along with his brother was granted bail on September 12 in the AgustaWestland case. The bail was granted on a bond of Rs.1 lakh each and on the same amount of surety.
