NEW DELHI: Same food is available for everyone, said the Delhi High Court on Thursday while hearing the regular bail plea filed by former finance minister P. Chidambaram, who is currently in Tihar Jail in INX Media corruption case, international media reported.
“Same food is available for everyone,” said Justice Suresh Kumar Kait after Chidambaram’s counsel Kapil Sibal requested the court that home cooked food be allowed to his client in jail.
Responding to the court’s remark, Sibal said, “My Lords, he is 74 years old.” Solicitor General Tushar Mehta then responded, “Even Chautala is old and is a political prisoner. As a state, we can’t distinguish anyone.”
The arguments took place while the court was hearing the regular bail application filed by the Chidambaram in CBI case pertaining to INX media. On Wednesday, Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram had alleged that the INX Media case is “political vendetta” and the investigation agency is “acting at the behest of the Centre”.
