SC to hear Chidambaram's plea at 10:30 am today
New Delhi: After the Delhi High Court turned down P Chidambaram's anticipatory bail plea, the Congress leader approached the top court on Tuesday.
Though, Chidambaram failed to get an audience with Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi for an urgent hearing in the matter, after hectic discussion with various authorities concerned, he was told his plea would be taken up before an appropriate bench at 10:30 am on Wednesday.
Hours after the Delhi High Court refused to grant any protection from arrest (to Chidambaram), a team of CBI officers landed at his posh Jor Bagh residence to locate him, but left after not finding the former union minister there, officials said.
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday refused to grant him anticipatory bail, saying he seems to be the "kingpin" and "key conspirator" in the INX media case of money laundering and he needs to be interrogated in custody for the investigation to be effective.
Holding that the INX media scam was a "classic case of money laundering", the court also said the twin facts which have weighed to deny pre-arrest bail to Chidambaram are "gravity" of the offence and "evasive" replies given by him to questions put to him while he was under protective cover extended to him by the court.
