The Delhi High Court has asked corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar to file response on a Enforcement Directorate (ED) plea seeking to cancel his anticipatory bail plea in a case related to the purchase of 43 aircraft by Indian Airlines in 2005.

However, the bench refused to stay order of the trial court granting anticipatory bail to Talwar.

The ED has registered a case related to purchase of aircraft by Indian Airlines from Airbus Industrie, France, in 2005.

Talwar is in judicial custody in another money laundering case related to his suspected role in the irregular seat sharing on Air India's profitable routes with some international airlines.

The ED is also probing various other cases related to money laundering against Talwar who was deported from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on January 30.
