Quattrocchi denies making any commitment before SC

He claimed that this was stated in his application seeking modification of February 22 order of the Supreme Court and added that his counsel quot;did not have the chance to discussquot; during the March 26 proceedings.

The Supreme Court on March 26 upheld the arrest warrant issued against him while strongly disapproving his approach towards the court.

quot;We firmly disapprove the manner in which petitioner Ottavio Quattrocchi has conducted himself,quot; a Division Bench comprising Justices G T Nanavati and S P Kurdukar had observed when Attorney General Soli Sorabjee pointed out that the accused failed to honour his word before the apex court to appear before the trial court on March 15.

Quattrocchi reiterated that he was ready to be interrogated by CBI either at Kuala Lumpur, his place of residence, or in Italy while saying the CBI should treat him equally along with other persons, whom the investigating agency had interrogated in foreign countries.
