Supreme Court to hear P Chidambaram's plea against Delhi HC order on Friday

The bench of Justice R Banumathi and Justice Hrishikesh Roy will hear the matter. The Supreme Court will hear on Friday senior Congress leader P Chidambaram's plea against the order of the Delhi High Court that dismissed his bail plea in the INX Media case. The bench of Justice R Banumathi and Justice Hrishikesh Roy will hear the matter. After the Delhi High Court dismissed Chidambaram's plea asserting that he might influence witnesses in the case, his counsel, Kapil Sibal, moved a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the apex court on Thursday, seeking an urgent hearing in the matter. Refuting the contentions put forth by the High Court, the former Finance Minister, in the petition, has asserted that he has not influenced any witnesses or accused in the case. "A mere apprehension without there being substantial evidence and particulars of an accused approaching any witness are not enough to deny bail to an accused," the petition read. Alluding to certain inputs submitted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to the court in a sealed cover, the petition said: "The liberty has thus been denied on the basis of the baseless, anonymous and unverified allegation made behind the petitioner's (Chidambaram) back."
