This comes two days after it was reported by ANI that the probe agency is likely to arrest Chidambaram on October 14.

The court listed the matter for further hearing on November 29.

The approval was allegedly granted in 2006 when Chidambaram was the Union finance minister.

Chidambaram is facing probe for alleged irregularities in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board.

Chidambaram had moved the apex court challenging the Delhi HC's verdict dismissing his bail plea in the case.

Chidambaram also raised questions about democracy, which he said, was being 'hollowed out in country after country'.

The court is slated to hear the plea on October 3.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta had described the former finance minister P Chidambaram as a flight risk.

Shivakumar, a Congress heavyweight, on Thursday moved the Delhi High Court, seeking bail in the money laundering case.

The govt had already sanctioned the prosecution of former finance minister P Chidambaram in February this year.

A Delhi court on Thursday extended Chidambaram's judicial custody till October 3 in a corruption case filed by the CBI.

In the letter written in Tamil, PM Modi greeted Chidambaram on his birthday on Sept 16 and wished that he continues to serve the people.

Singh along with Congress president Sonia Gandhi earlier in the day met Chidambaram in Tihar Jail.

Chidambaram's lawyers denied CBI's submission that his alleged role in the INX media case was a 'clear betrayal of public trust at large'.

The tweet by the former union minister came minutes after he met Sonia Gandhi and former prime minister Manmohan Singh.

He added that the arrests of his father, Farooq Abdullah and D K Shivakumar is just a beginning of a long list to come.

Sibal said Chidambaram is suffering from various ailments like coronary artery disease, hypertension, impaired glycemia and has lost weight.

The government said it was a 'small issue' and there had been no chair in the cell in the first place.

All pending matters related to this case will be handled over to Special Judge Kuhar as judge Saini is retiring at the end of September.

Last week, a CBI court sent Chidambaram to judicial custody in Tihar Jail till September 19.
