Denying relief to Karti, Special Judge MK Nagpal said there was not enough ground to allow his application. The special court had last week reserved its order for today after hearing the arguments last week.

The ED recently registered the money-laundering case against Karti and others in the alleged scam pertaining to the issuance of a 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 provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) taking cognisance of a recent first information report by the CBI in the same case.
