INX case: Delhi HC stays trial court proceedings

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday stayed the trial court proceedings in the CBI’s INX Media corruption case where Congress leader P Chidambaram and his son Karti have been named as accused along with others.

Justice Suresh Kumar Kait sought the response of Chidambaram and others on CBI’s plea challenging the trial court order of March 5 directing supply of certain documents to all the accused. The city court in that order also allowed the accused to inspect records pertaining to the case in CBI’s repository.

“Proceedings in the present case in the trial court shall remain stayed,” Justice Kait said while posting the matter for August 9.
