Delhi HC reserves order on Chidambaram’s bail plea in INX Media case

New Delhi: Delhi High Court on Friday reserved the order on Former Union Minister P Chidambaram’s bail plea in the INX Media case.
Justice Suresh Kumar Kait reserved the order after the lawyers from both sides concluded their arguments.
Appearing for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta stated, “The accused are alleging victimization, but the record speaks for itself. If records make it a case, then we can’t say anything. A serious case has been made out, look at the gravity of the offence.” Solicitor-General further stated that Indrani Mukerjea and Peter Mukerjea met him and the visitors’ register was destroyed.
“They (Indrani and Peter) had used the hotel vehicle to travel to Chidambaram’s place, we have the evidence related to this,” he stated. Appearing for P Chidambaram, Senior advocate Kapil Sibal denied the allegations and stated, “Hundreds of delegations call on the Finance Minister. I have no recollection of an INX Media delegation calling on me.” “Only the Visitors diary can confirm the fact. I certainly remember that I never met Indrani Mukerjea,” Sibal added.
