In a fresh blow to senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram, the Delhi High Court on Friday dismissed his bail plea in connection with the INX Media money laundering case. A bench of Justice Suresh Kumar Kait observed that the prima facie allegations against Chidambaram "are serious in nature and he has played an active role". "No doubt bail is right, but if granted in such cases it is against the interest of public at large," the court observed.
