The ED has challenged the September 5 order of the special court granting relief to 74-year-old Chidambaram and his son. Chidambaram is lodged in Tihar jail after being arrested by the CBI on August 21 in the INX Media case. The trial court had also granted anticipatory bail to the father-son duo in the Aircel-Maxis case filed by CBI. The ED is probing a money laundering case in the Aircel-Maxis matter, in which the Chidambarams have been questioned by the agency. Chidambaram has approached the Supreme Court seeking bail in the INX Media case lodged by CBI after the Delhi High Court on September 30, denied him relief.
