New Delhi: A Delhi court today reserved it order on a bail plea filed by Karti Chidambaram's Chartered Accountant S Bhaskararaman, arrested in the INX Media money laundering case.
Special CBI judge Sunil Rana said the order will be pronounced on March 7.
Mr Bhaskararaman sought bail on the ground that he was not required for custodial interrogation and no purpose would be served by keeping him in custody.
Karti Chidambaram's name had cropped up in the case relating to Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approval granted in 2007 for receipt of funds by INX Media when his father and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram was the union finance minister during the previous UPA regime.
The agency had said the investigation required the presence of the CA for collecting vital evidence and other information which was within his special knowledge and exclusive domain.
To wriggle out of the situation without any punitive action, INX Media entered into a criminal conspiracy with Karti Chidambaram, the ED had alleged.
