Delhi court extends protection from arrest to P Chidambaram till Aug 9

A Delhi court today extended till 9th August the interim protection from arrest to former Union minister P Chidambaram and his son Karti in Aircel-Maxis cases. 

The cases relate to alleged irregularities in grant of Foreign Investment Promotion Board approval in the Aircel-Maxis deal. 

The Court extended the relief after the



argument on anticipatory bail plea of the father-son duo remained inconclusive as the CBI and the ED sought time to argue the matter further. 

During the hearing, Chidambaram told the court there was no ground for it to deny them anticipatory bail, opposed by the two central probe agencies.
