INX case: HC rejects CBI plea against order allowing inspection of documents by Karti Chidambaram

The investigating agency said that the March 5 order by a trial court reflected intrusion into their investigative process.
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against a trial court order allowing inspection of documents by Congress leader P. Chidambaram’s son Karti Chidambaram and other accused in the INX media case.
The CBI had challenged to a March 5 order passed by the trial court allowing inspection of documents kept in ‘Malkhana’ (room keeping case properties) by the accused and their counsel.
The investigating agency said that the March 5 order reflected intrusion into their investigative process. It said if the accused persons were allowed to inspect documents available at the ‘Malkhana’, the same would subvert the probe and there was every likelihood that they might tamper with evidence available.
