The Appellate Tribunal under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act has dismissed Karti P. Chidambaram's appeal against the Enforcement Directorate's attachment of his assets, ruling that the delayed prosecution complaint was protected by Supreme Court's Covid-19 limitation extensions. The attachment of his ₹16.05 crore Jor Bagh property share and multiple bank accounts will continue, though possession can only be taken under exceptional circumstances.
