Kapil Sibal seeks permission from the judge to speak to his client while the former goes through the documents given by the #CBI. Sibal and #PChidambaram speak to each other slowly.

Sibal opposes extension of #CBI remand, questions agency where is the evidence of the 5 million USD that it claimed has been paid as kickback. Let the #CBI first show something concrete before asking for extension, argues Sibal.

Mehta presents CBI's handicap: Whenever officials ask him questions about rules of FIPB clearances, #PChidamabaram responds he will have to look at that rule. And then he reads it for an hour.

#CBI court reserves its order on extension of #PChidambaram's custodial interrogation. Order is expected after half an hour.

Another jolt for #PChidambaram, his #CBI custody gets extended TILL Aug 20th. Another 4 days of #CBI custody..

Correction in the previous tweet.. Custody is till Aug 30. #CBI judge has said investigation is the prerogative of the IO and given the circumstances, extension of #PChidambaram's custodial interrogation is justified.
