Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram is all set to move the Delhi High Court, seeking bail from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody. While the petition has been finalised, the decision on when to move is yet to be taken.
It comes hours after Chidambaram was granted bail by the Supreme Court in the INX Media case lodged by the CBI.
The relief from the Supreme Court for Chidambaram came around two months after he was arrested.
A bench headed by Justice R Banumathi set aside the Delhi High Court's September 30 verdict denying bail to Chidambaram in the case.
Chidambaram will make himself available for interrogation as and when called by the probe agency, the Supreme Court said.
Chidambaram will, however, continue to remain in jail as he is presently in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
