SC grants Karti Chidambaram protection from arrest

New Delhi, April 2: The Supreme Court on Monday extended, till April 27, the interim protection from arrest it granted to Congress leader P. Chidambaram's son Karti Chidambaram in an alleged INX Media money laundering case.

The court ordered the relief as it adjourned the hearing on the matter relating to Karti Chidambaram since a pending matter that was being heard by the court was likely to last long.

On March 26, the top court extended till Monday (April 2) the Delhi High Court's March 9 order directing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) not to take any coercive action against him till March 20.

On March 15, a top court bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud extended the relief to Karti Chidambaram till March 26.
