Karthi Chimdabaram gets anticipatory bail in Black Money case

In a late night hearing, the Madras High Court granted anticipatory bail to Karti Chidambaram, son of former union minister P Chidambaram in connection with the warrant issued against him by the income tax department under the Black Money Act for allegedly not disclosing foreign assets. The court on Saturday also directed the I-T department to keep in abeyance the warrant issued against him until he returned from his trip abroad.

Karti Chidambaram gave a written undertaking to appear before the concerned IT official on June 28.

Apprehending arrest following issuance of warrant, Karti Chidambaram's counsels, A R L Sundaresh and Satish Parasaran, knocked on the doors of the official residence of Chief Justice Indira Banerjee late last night. However, they were instructed to approach the concerned portfolio judge with the anticipatory bail petition.
