The Supreme Court Tuesday permitted Karti Chidambaram, son of senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, to travel abroad in May and June after depositing Rs 10 crore as security with it. Senior advocate K V Vishwanathan, appearing for Karti, said that Rs 10 crore, which was deposited earlier, was still lying with the apex court's registry. "We do not think, you would have any problem in depositing Rs 10 crore again," the bench said. Karti is facing criminal cases which are being probed by the ED and the CBI. One of the cases relates to the FIPB clearance to INX Media for receiving foreign funds of Rs 305 crore when his father was the finance minister.
