Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram on Monday moved the Supreme Court, saying his plea challenging the trial court's order remanding him in CBI custody in the INX Medica case has not been listed for hearing today despite the apex court's direction on August 23.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, who appeared for Chidambaram, mentioned the matter before the bench headed by Justice R. Banumathi and said that during the hearing last Friday, the court had said the plea challenging the remand would be taken up today but it has not been listed.

The bench told Sibal that Chidambaram's plea will be listed for hearing after the registry gets necessary orders from Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi. 'The registry has some difficulty and we have to take orders from the Chief Justice,' the bench told Sibal.

Delhi High Court had dismissed Chidambaram's anticipatory bail plea in the INX Media cases lodged by the CBI and ED.
