The Delhi
High Court denied bail to former Union Minister P Chidambaram in the case on
Friday, 15 November.

In his 41-page order, uploaded on 16 November, Justice Suresh Kumar Kait of the high court reproduced some paragraphs from a 2017 Supreme Court order rejecting bail to Delhi-based lawyer Rohit Tandon in a money laundering case.

As reports of “copy-pasting” started circulating, Karti Chidambaram, son of the former finance minister, posted a newspaper clipping with the caption “cut, copy and paste”.

The Supreme
Court will hear the bail plea on Wednesday, 20 November.
