The Madras High Court on Thursday stayed the look out circulars issued against former union minister P Chidambaram's son Karti and four others by the Centre under the Passport Act over a corruption case filed by the CBI.

Justice M Duraiswamy granted the interim stay when petitions filed by Karti and others seeking to quash the circulars came up for hearing and directed the central government to file its counter by September 4.

Others who got the interim relief are Karti's associates C B N Reddy, Ravi Viswanathan, Mohanan Rajesh and S Baskar Raman.
