The court also directed Chidambaram to furnish a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and two sureties of like amount each. On October 18, the court had reserved its order on the former minister's plea.
The CBI had opposed Chidambaram's bail plea, saying that he had tried to "pressurise and influence" key witnesses in the INX Media case. Chidambaram was arrested on August 21, and is currently lodged in Tihar Jail in judicial custody. The CBI, on Friday, chargesheeted him with the other accused in the INX Media corruption case.
