INDIA'S top court has allowed Karti Chidambaram, son of former Indian finance minister P Chidambaram, to travel to the UK and France.

The Supreme Court on Friday (14) allowed Karti who is facing criminal cases and being probed by the federal investigation agencies - Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

He is expected to visit the UK and France this month to attend a tennis tournament.

A bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde permitted Karti to travel abroad from February 14 to 28, subject to compliance of conditions imposed earlier.

The apex court had earlier allowed Karti permission to travel abroad after depositing Rs 100 million with the secretary general of the Supreme Court.

The top court had also asked him to file an undertaking that he would return and cooperate with the investigation.

One of the cases faced by Karti relates to the Foreign Investment Promotion Board clearance to INX Media for receiving foreign funds of Rs 3.05 billion when his father was the finance minister.
