Visa 'scam': Delhi court reserves order on Karti Chidambaram's plea seeking stay on proceedings

New Delhi, Feb 22 (PTI) A Delhi court is likely to deliver on March 5 its order on Congress MP Karti Chidambaram's plea seeking stay on proceedings in alleged Chinese visa scam related money laundering case against him and others.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja reserved the order on Saturday after hearing arguments on Karti's application, which has sought to stay the proceedings claiming lack of sanction from authorities concerned.

The ED had registered the money laundering case against Karti and others in the alleged scam pertaining to the issuance of visa to 263 Chinese nationals in 2011 when his father P Chidambaram was the home minister.

The federal agency has filed its case under the criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) taking cognisance of an FIR by the CBI in the same case. PTI UK KVK KVK
