Aircel-Maxis case: Chidambaram seeks early hearing of his anticipatory bail plea

Former Union minister P Chidambaram Monday accused the CBI and the ED of “delaying” Aircel-Maxis cases in a Delhi court, which extended interim protection from arrest granted to him and his son Karti till March 8.

The senior Congress leader, who was present in the courtroom, requested Special Judge O P Saini to grant an early hearing on his anticipatory bail applications as well as the charge sheet filed in the cases lodged by CBI and the Enforcement Directorate.

Chidambaram’s party colleague and senior advocate Kapil Sibal made the submission on his behalf after the ED sought adjournment in the matter.
