PTI, NEW DELHI: Congress leader P Chidambaram approached the Delhi High Court Monday seeking to place some additional documents on record in his pending anticipatory bail plea in the INX Media case lodged by the CBI.
The former finance minister has sought to place on record the printouts of several news articles published on February 3, which state that the Law Ministry has told the Centre that the CBI can be granted sanction to prosecute Chidambaram in the case.
Justice Sunil Gaur has on January 25, reserved the order on Chidambaram’s anticipatory bail pleas in the corruption and money laundering cases relating to the INX Media scandal, lodged by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The lawyers Monday mentioned the matter before the court which asked them to go registry, if they needed to file any document.
The Congress leader has sought anticipatory bail saying that he was called for questioning by the CBI only once in June 2018 and he was not even named as an accused in the FIR.
CBI and ED have opposed the pleas and asserted that his custodial interrogation was required in the case as he was evasive in giving answers during questioning and they required his custodial interrogation which will be qualitatively different.
