    SC will hear Chidambaram's plea against arrest on Monday
  • The Supreme Court will hear the plea of former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram challenging his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection to the INX Media case on Monday, August 26.

    On Thursday, Chidambaram was sent to CBI custody till August 26 by a special court.

    The agency argued his custody is important for interrogation and alleged Chidambaram hasn't been cooperative.

  • To recall, on Tuesday, Chidambaram's plea seeking anticipatory bail was rejected by the Delhi High Court. The court had called him a "kingpin" in the corruption case, being probed by both CBI and ED.

    Subsequently, he approached the top court, which listed the matter for Friday.

    Cashing in on the time which SC gave, CBI arrested Chidambaram from his residence after a high-voltage drama.

    Sibal said Chidambaram's fundamental right to justice was "compromised"

  • The bench comprising Justices R Banumathi and AS Bopanna also heard Chidambaram's plea seeking protection from arrest by ED. The top court agreed to take up this matter too on Monday.

    In court, senior lawyer Kapil Sibal, arguing for Chidambaram, said the latter's fundamental right to justice was "frustrated" after SC didn't hear his petition challenging Delhi HC's verdict.

  • Sibal then went on to say that after arguments were over in Delhi HC, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta handed over a note to Justice Sunil Gaur and they didn't get a chance to reply on that.

    Responding to Sibal, Mehta said, "Don't make false statements, I didn't give it after the arguments were over." However, the Congress leader remained firm on his stand.
