On Friday, the Apex Court sought response from ICICI Bank’s former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Chanda Kochhar and her businessman-husband Deepak Kochhar on a plea filed against the Bombay High Court order declaring their arrest as “illegal”.
A bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar issued notice to the duo and sought their replies on the appeal filed by the agency.
On Feb 6 the High Court had held as “illegal” their arrest while confirming a January 2023 interim order passed by another bench granting the duo bail soon after their arrest in the case.
The couple was arrested by the CBI on Dec 2
