The Supreme Court has given a notice to ED on a request recorded by Chidambaram testing the judgment of the Delhi HC denying him bail in the illegal tax avoidance case.

Excerpts of the incident : 

‌• SC notice to ED on bail request of Chidambaram in INX Media case

•‌ Preeminent Court has requested that the ED record an answer by Monday

‌• The next date of hearing for the case is November 26 


The Supreme Court on Wednesday gave a notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on the bail supplication of senior Congress pioneer P Chidambaram in the INX Media tax evasion case. 

Chidambaram had moved toward the Supreme Court testing the judgment of the Delhi High Court denying him bail in the illegal tax avoidance case held up by the ED. 

The test office has been approached to document an answer by Monday. The following date of hearing is November 26. 

A seat, headed by recently sworn-in Chief Justice of India SA Bobde, had on Monday requested the posting of the bail supplication. 

The Delhi High Court had on November 15 rejected Chidambaram's' bail supplication for the situation recorded by the ED, saying by all appearances claims against him were not kidding in nature and he played a "functioning and key job" in the offense. 

Chidambaram was first captured by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on August 21 in the INX Media debasement case and was conceded bail by the Supreme Court on October 22. 

Chidambaram, who was captured by the ED in the illegal tax avoidance case on October 16, is by and by in legal care till November 27 under the request for a preliminary court. 

The CBI had enrolled the case on May 15, 2017, charging abnormalities in a Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) leeway allowed to the INX Media bunch for accepting abroad assets of Rs 305 crore in 2007 during Chidambaram's residency as the Union money serve. 

From that point, the ED had stopped a tax evasion case in such manner around the same time.
