New Delhi:

The Supreme Court Monday sought response from the Income Tax department on the pleas of Congress MP Karti Chidambaram and his wife challenging the transfer of a tax evasion case filed against them before a lower court to a Special Court for MPs and MLAs.

A bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan and R Subhash Reddy issued notice to the IT department on an appeal filed by Karti Chidambaram, son of senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, against the Madras High Court judgment.

The high court had dismissed the petitions filed by Karti Chidambaram and his wife to quash two criminal complaints under the Income Tax Act and the proceeding before the special court for MP/MLAs.

“Issue notice, returnable in two weeks. Petitioner may serve a copy of these petitions to the office of Solicitor General,” the top court said in its order.

According to the Income Tax department, Karti Chidambaram, elected to Lok Sabha from Sivaganga constituency in 2019 elections, and his wife had received the amount in cash for the sale of a land at Muttukadu but did not disclose it in their I-T returns.
