After a lookout circular was issued against Karti Chidambaram in a corruption case, former union minister P Chidambaram's son moved the Madras High Court for quashing the order. Karti, against whom the circular has been issued under the Passport Act over a corruption case filed by the CBI, said the investigative agency has planned to stop him at the airport. The case related to alleged irregularities in the FIPB clearance to INX Media for receiving overseas funds when his father was the union finance minister in 2007. Claiming that the CBI issued the summons when he was abroad on personal work, Karti said his counsel had duly informed the CBI about this through a letter dated June 20.
