The Supreme Court today said the CBI custody of former finance minister P Chidambaram would continue till Thursday in the INX Media corruption case.
The plea was filed before the trial court yesterday and was scheduled to be heard today.
A bench of justices R Banumathi and A S Bopanna said it would on Thursday hear Chidambaram’s plea in which he has challenged the non-bailable warrant issued against him as well as the subsequent trial court’s orders remanding him in the CBI custody.
At the outset, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the CBI, moved an application seeking recall of the apex court’s Monday order. He said based on the order, Chidambaram’s counsel had moved interim bail plea before the trial court.
After hearing Mehta’s submissions, the bench said the interim bail plea be listed for hearing before the trial court on Thursday and the apex court will hear Chidambaram’s plea on that day itself.
