Additional Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium told a Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan that despite the best efforts of the investigative agency it has failed to get the translated order.

After this submission, the agency placed before the Bench a copy of the order translated by it. The court posted the matter for further hearing after three weeks.

The court on November 26 last had granted CBI time to file a "true and correct translation" from Spanish to English of the order of an Argentinian court.

The apex court had directed the CBI to file the June 8 order of the El Dorado court in Argentina declining India's plea seeking extradition of 69-year-old Quattrocchi.
