The CBI has filed an application in the Delhi High Court for taking on record additional submission in the anticipatory bail plea of former Union minister P Chidambaram in connection with INX media case.
The plea will come up for hearing before Justice Sunil Gaur on March 11.
The court had on January 25 reserved its order on the anticipatory bail plea of the Congress leader in both the cases lodged by the CBI and the ED.
In its application, the CBI said it wanted to file additional submission regarding ongoing investigation in larger interest of justice.
In the INX Media case, the CBI had registered an FIR on May 15, 2017 alleging irregularities in the FIPB clearance granted to the media group for receiving overseas funds to the tune of 305 crore in 2007 during Chidambaram's tenure as finance minister.
A trial court here had also on May 30, 2018, directed the ED not to take coercive action against Chidambaram in the Aircel-Maxis money laundering case.
He was also granted protection from arrest in the Aircel-Maxis case in which he and his son Karti are named in the charge sheet filed by the CBI. The interim protection has been extended from time to time.
