SC slaps notice on Chanda Kochchar

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to former ICICI Bank chief Chanda Kochhar on a plea filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) seeking cancellation of her bail in the alleged Videocon loan fraud case.

A bench, headed by Justice Sanjiv Khanna, agreed to examine the CBI’s special leave petition against the Bombay High Court order confirming its earlier order granting interim bail to the Kochhar couple. The Bench, also comprising Justice Sanjay Kumar, issued notice to Chanda Kochhar, her husband Deepak Kochhar, and the Maharashtra government, and directed tagging of CBI’s plea with Videocon Group Chairman Venugopal Dhoot’s matter, where his release on bail has also been challenged by the CBI.
