SC rejects Karti's plea to move abroad, says lookout notice to remain till Sept 11

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday refused Karti Chidambaram's plea to move abroad and has made it clear that he cannot leave India.

The Supreme Court said, it would peruse CBI interrogation report of Karti on alleged irregular FIPB clearance to INX media in 2007.

The lookout notice against Karti, son of former Union minister P Chidambaram, will continue till September 11, when the apex court will hear the matter again.

The apex court had earlier said it would review Madras High Court order of cancelling the Look out Circular (LOC) issued by Foreigner Regional Registration Officer (FRRO) to Karti.

On May 16, the CBI raided Chidambaram's residence, along with 13 other locations in New Delhi, Gurugram, Mumbai and Chandigarh.

The raids were regarding a 2007 case, in which INX Media had allegedly paid bribes to get an FIPB approval.

An FIR was filed against Karti, Indrani Mukherjee and Peter Mukerjea, who owned INX media.
