New Delhi, August 26: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain Congress leader P Chidambaram’s plea challenging the dismissal of his anticipatory bail in a corruption case lodged by the CBI in the INX Media scam.
The apex court said his petition has become “infructuous” as Chidambaram has already been arrested by the CBI.
A Bench comprising justices R Banumathi and A S Bopanna said Chidambaram is at liberty to seek remedy in accordance with the law.
Chidambaram, whose CBI custody is ending today, will be produced before a trial court where the agency can further seek his custody.
At present the apex court Bench is hearing issues relating to the money-laundering case lodged by the ED in connection with the INX Media scam. PTI
