The Delhi High Court (HC) has sought the response of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on a bail plea of senior Congress leader and former Union finance minister P Chidambaram in the INX media money-laundering case. A notice was issued by Justice Suresh Kait to the ED on the bail application and asked the agency to file its reply within a week. The court fixed the matter for further hearing on November 4.

P Chidambaram, who is 74, was granted bail by the Supreme Court on Tuesday in the INX media corruption case and is under the ED's custody that ends on Thursday. He was arrested by the CBI on August 21 in the INX Media corruption case.

The case was registered on May 15, 2017 alleging irregularities in a Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance granted to the INX Media group for receiving overseas funds of Rs 305 crore in 2007, during Chidambaram's tenure as finance minister.
