New Delhi, May 6 (IBNS) New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Centre on a petition seeking registration of an FIR against all the people named in an Italian court judgement in the controversial AgustaWestland chopper deal, reports said.

A bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra and Shiva Kirti Singh issued notice on the PIL that sought a court-monitored probe in the case.
