The FIPB approval was granted in &quot;hundreds of cases&quot;, the senior Congress leader had said.

As directed by SC, Karti Chidambaram appears before CBI

The Supreme Court of India on Monday overruled a Madras High Court order staying the lookout notice against Karti Chidambaram, son of former finance minister P Chidambaram, to prevent him from leaving the country.

The lookout circulars were issued by the central government over a corruption case filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
