New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to Congress leader P Chidambaram, who was arrested in the INX media case. Chidambaram, who is currently in Enforcement custody, cannot get out of jail despite being granted bail. The court, hearing Chidambaram’s plea, barred the CBI’s objection.
A bench headed by Justice R Banumathi set aside the Delhi High Court’s September 30 verdict denying bail to Chidambaram in the case. The bench granted bail to Chidambaram on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh with one surety of the like amount. The SC also added that Chidambaram is released on bail if not required in any other case.
