New Delhi: The Delhi High Court will hear a plea by former Union minister P Chidambaram, seeking anticipatory bail in the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) money-laundering case related to INX Media, on Wednesday.
When the matter came up before Justice A K Pathak today, the ED's counsel said it should be heard later in the day as Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta was busy in the Supreme Court.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Chidambaram, said he will not be available post-lunch and the court may list the matter for Wednesday.
He also urged the court to pick the matter for 10.30 am on Wednesday. However, the judge said it will come up in due course.
The senior counsel said this matter was from the same transaction on which the CBI had also registered the case. The only difference was that this petition relates to ED's case while the other one, in which Chidambaram has already got protection from arrest, was of CBI.
