New Delhi, April 16 -- The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked Congress leader P Chidambaram's wife Nalini and son Karti to respond on an appeal of the Income Tax department against the Madras High Court order rejecting criminal prosecution against them in relation to an alleged black money case.

While issuing notices to the two, a bench headed by the Chief Justice, made clear that the Madras High Court's 2018 order would not be stayed by it that rejected the criminal prosecution against the Chidambarams.

The issue is related to alleged non-disclosure of overseas assets and bank accounts held by Chidambaram's wife, son Karti and daughter-in-law Srinidhi.
