#INXMedia: Supreme Court judgment on former Union Minister P Chidambaram's bail plea in cases filed by Enforcement Directorate at 10.30 AM today. @htTweets
Chidambaram's arguments:

1. High court had cleared Chidambaram of the triple test for bail, yet denied him bail on the ground that offence alleged was grave. Gravity of offence can be ground to deny bail only in extraordinary cases like terrorist, habitual offender etc.
2. No document or evidence linking Chidambaram to the alleged offence. Only reason he is being portrayed as kingpin is he is Karti Chidambaram's father.

#INXMedia: Sibal narrating the facts of the case.
#INXMedia: ED said in their remand application that I (P Chidambaram) was trying to influence witnesses. I was in their custody. So their allegation is I was trying to influence witnesses from ED office when I did not even have a phone, argues Kapil Sibal.
