Even as Kapil Sibbal, senior Congress leader and counsel of P Chidambaram is arguing before the Supreme Court for relief to the accused in INX Media case, Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a fresh lookout notice against P Chidambaram to restrict his movement across land, air and seaports, reports Times of India.
After the Delhi High Court on Tuesday refused to grant any protection from arrest to Chidambaram, the probe agencies issued a notice to him to appear before them within two hours of seeing the notice. The accused in the corruption and money laundering cases related to the INX Media remains missing since.
The Chidambaram’s legal team had filed a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court against the High Court’s refusal to grant anticipatory bail. The team had requested probe agencies to not arrest Chidambaram till the matter is heard in the court.
"The matter should be heard. I (Chidamabaram) should not be arrested in the meanwhile," Sibal said in the court.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
