Chidambaram fails to get immediate relief in SC, case to be put before CJI

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, who is facing threat of arrest in the INX Media case, on Wednesday failed to get any immediate relief from a Supreme Court bench which said his petition will be put before the Chief Justice of India for considering urgent listing.

Chidambaram’s petition seeking protection from arrest was mentioned before a bench comprising Justices N V Ramana, M Shantanagoudar and Ajay Rastogi who said the case will be put before CJI Ranjan Gogoi.

“I am sending it to the Chief Justice of India. He will pass orders,” the bench told senior advocate Sibal, who appeared as lead advocate.
