The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear the Income-Tax Department’s appeal challenging the Madras High Court order which quashed criminal prosecution against senior Congress leader P Chidambaram’s family members under the black money law. The top court, however, refused to stay the order of the High Court. A Bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Sanjiv Khanna issued notice to Chidambaram’s wife Nalini and their son Karti, who is contesting Lok Sabha election from Sivaganga constituency in Tamil Nadu.
The Bench also sought reply from Karti’s wife Srinidhi and others in the case.
The High Court had quashed criminal prosecution initiated by the I-T Department under the Black Money Act against the three. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the I-T department, sought stay of the High Court order of November 2, 2018.
