Former Union Minister P Chidambaram’s son Karti Chidambaram on Friday moved the Madras High Court for quashing a “look out circular” issued against him under the Passport Act over a corruption case filed by the CBI.

In his petition, Karti contended that the July 18 circular had been issued arbitrarily and without jurisdiction by the Foreigner Regional Registration Officer and The Bureau of Immigration under the Union Home Ministry at the behest of different agencies to prevent him from travelling abroad.
