Chidambaram moves bail application in apex court

Jailed former Finance and Home Minister P Chidambaram on Monday moved a bail application in the Supreme Court. The matter was mentioned before a bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) SA Bobde where senior advocate Kapil Sibal sought urgent listing of the plea. Sibal told the bench that Chidambaram has been in jail for around 90 days.

“We will see,” the bench told Sibal, adding that the bail plea would come up for hearing either on Tuesday or Wednesday. Meanwhile in the afternoon the Delhi High Court clarified that the facts of another case mentioned in the order denying bail to Chidambaram are only for reference.
