Former finance minister P Chidambaram is also under arrest in a INX Media case being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate.
A bench led by Justice R Banumathi, which had heard Chidambaram’s appeal against the rejection of bail by the high court on 30 September, has ordered that the former home and finance minister should produce a bail bond of Rs one lakh and two sureties. He will also have to deposit his passport with the special court if not already done so far.
The top court’s ruling on his appeal sets aside the high court verdict that had taken a view that as a former minister, Chidambaram could influence witnesses in the case.
