CBI Files Review Petition Against Chidambaram’s Bail in INX Media Case

New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday moved the Supreme Court seeking review of its order granting bail to former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram in the INX Media corruption case. The CBI, in its review petition filed by advocate Rajat Nair, requested the top court to grant a hearing on his plea challenging the October 22 order of granting bail to the former Union minister.

The CBI submitted that the finding rendered by the top court was clearly contrary to the record and amounts to an error apparent on the face of the record.

On October 18, the court had reserved its order on the former minister’s plea. That time, the CBI had opposed Chidambaram’s bail plea, saying that he had tried to “pressurize and influence” key witnesses in the INX Media case.

Now, the CBI has sought review of the observation wherein the top court had said that details are also not available as to when, where and how those witnesses were approached. The top court also observed that there were no details about the form like SMS, e-mail, letter or telephonic calls and the persons who have approached the material witnesses. (IANS)
