The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the CBI to apprise it of its stand on allowing the request of Karti Chidambaram, son of former Union Minister P. Chidambaram, to go abroad for a few days.
The court also asked the probe agency to brief it on the reasons for not interrogating Karti if it decided not to call him at present.
“You take instructions on allowing the respondent [Karti] to go abroad for 4-5 days and what conditions can be imposed on him,” a Bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A.M. Khanwilkar and D.Y. Chandrachud said.
The Bench perused the documents submitted by the CBI against Karti in a sealed cover and observed that the prosecuting agency had grievances looking at the past conduct of the respondent.
