CHENNAI: After the experience of liquor baron Vijay Mallya leaving India, it has become imperative for the Centre to issue lookout circular in the case of Karti Chidambaram , the CBI submitted in the Madras High Court today.The submission was made by Additional Solicitor General G Rajagopalan before the court where Karti had challenged the circular.Further, the ASG contended that the petitioner has so far never appeared before the investigating agency. "He is evading appearance by citing lame reasons. Let him appear or give an undertaking through an affidavit to the court that he would not leave the country. If this is the stand of CBI, then I have to issue interim orders to provide a copy. "Soon after the court passed an interim order, the ASG provided a copy of the LOC to the petitioner and complied with the interim order.Recording the same, the judge then posted the plea to August 10 for further hearing.Claiming that Karti has evaded appearance on summons issued by the CBI in connection with the case, LOC was issued on July 18.
