The urgent application filed by advocate Ajay Agrawal sought the direction of the apex court to stay the operation of any withdrawal of Red Corner notice against Quattrocchi who has not submitted himself to Indian court in connection with the Bofors case.

Agrawal, who had earlier moved the apex court in January 2006 against the defreezing of Quattrocchi's bank account in London, sought issuance of Red Corner notice again.
