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 court was hearing regular bail plea filed by Chidambaram in CBI case pertaining to INX media.
