INX media case: Chidambaram fails to get urgent audience in SC against Delhi HC order

Congress leader P Chidambaram, facing threats of arrest in the INX media scam, failed to get an audience from Chief Justice (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi on Tuesday for the urgent hearing of his appeal in the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court order dismissing his anticipatory bail plea.

A team of lawyers led by senior advocate and Chidambaram’s party colleague Kapil Sibal was told by Registrar (Judicial) to mention the petition on Wednesday morning in the apex court.

Sibal was the first senior advocate to reach the apex court to meet Chidambaram and the two were seen rushing from one corridor to another to meet officials including the secretary general and CJI’s staff for having word with Justice Gogoi.
