The CBI on Monday moved the Supreme Court (SC) challenging a Delhi high court order granting bail to Karti Chidambaram in the INX Media case.

The CBI has claimed in its appeal that it was "impermissible in law" for the HC to entertain Karti's bail plea when an application seeking a similar relief was pending before the trial court. The agency has also alleged that the HC had "erroneously" conducted a "detailed examination" of evidence on merits at the stage of bail, which has seriously prejudiced the case of CBI.
