Karti Chidambaram on Friday got bail from the Delhi High Court, which said the relief should not be refused unless the crime is of the "highest magnitude" entailing "severe punishment". The reasons that weighed in with Justice S P Garg for granting bail to Karti, who was arrested on February 28, were that there appeared no possibility of him fleeing from justice, as his parents were senior advocates, he had a family to take care of, has roots in the society and was not a previous convict.
