While delivering the verdict on the case, the Supreme Court said that during this time he will not try to contact any witnesses. Apart from this, he will not be able to travel abroad without permission. Chidambaram will not give any public statements or interviews related to the case. Note that a bench headed by Justice R Banumathi had on November 28 reserved judgment on the appeal filed by Chidambaram, who challenged the Delhi High Court's November 15 verdict. And he was refused bail in the case. During the arguments, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had claimed in the apex court that the 74-year-old former finance minister is maintaining substantial influence over key witnesses in the case even while in custody, to which Chidambaram had said that his career was blamed by baseless allegations and can not destroy the reputation.
