NEW DELHI: The CBI moved the Supreme Court Friday seeking review of its verdict granting bail to former finance minister P Chidambaram in the INX Media corruption case saying some errors apparent on record have crept into the October 22 verdict.
In a similar development the Enforcement Directorate moved the apex court Friday challenging the Delhi High Court decision granting bail to Karnataka Congress leader D K Shivakumar in a money laundering case.
The top court had granted bail to Chidambaram in the case lodged by the CBI saying he is neither a “flight risk” nor is there a possibility of “his abscondence from the trial”. “In the order of dismissal some errors apparent on record have crept in, which if considered, would have material change in the outcome of the SLP,” said the review petition filed through advocate Rajat Nair. The CBI said the review petition has been filed as the findings rendered in the October 22 verdict are contrary to record.
Shivakumar bail
A lawyer associated with the case said that Special Leave Petition against the October 23 verdict giving relief to Shivakumar has been filed. He was arrested by the ED on September 3 and walked out of the Tihar Jail on Wednesday evening. He was in Judicial custody as the trial court had denied him bail in the case. The High Court on Wednesday granted him bail saying he cannot tamper with the evidence as the documents are with the investigating agencies. (PTI)
