A Delhi court on Tuesday sought response from the CBI on a plea of former Union Minister P. Chidambaram, who accused the agency of leaking parts of the chargesheet in the Aircel-Maxis case, in which he is an accused, to the media “to sensationalise” the issue and “make mockery of judicial process.”
Special judge O.P. Saini took the application on record and issued notice to the agency, seeking its response by October 8.
In his application, the Congress leader alleged that the CBI was not interested in a fair trial in the court of law and only wanted trial by media. The application said the CBI was making a mockery of the judicial process, resulting in travesty of justice.
