INX Media case: P Chidambaram gets bail from SC after 106 days in custody

SC disapproves of the manner in which Delhi HC recorded findings relating to the alleged offence

Supreme Court on Wednesday granted bail to senior Congress leader and former finance minister P Chidambaram. The bail has been granted on a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh with two sureties.

Arrested by CBI on August 21, Chidambaram has been in custody for the last 106 days. The SC had granted him bail in the CBI case on October 22, after 58 days of custody. But ED had arrested him on October 17, and he has been under ED custody since then. 

The top court said Chidambaram would not leave the country without prior permission of the court
