New Delhi, Aug. 21 -- : Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram was unable to get immediate relief from the Supreme Court on Wednesday as his plea seeking pre-arrest bail was referred to Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi.
A three-judge bench headed by Justice NV Ramana heard the Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by the former finance minister against the Delhi High Court order which dismissed his anticipatory bail plea in the alleged INX media scam.
Justice Ramana sent the file of P Chidambaram's plea to Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi to pass the order. CJI Gogoi, however, had commenced hearing in the Ayodhya dispute case due to which Chidambaram's counsel Kapil Sibal was unable to mention the matter before him for urgent hearing.
