Consider SIT For Tracking Black Money: SC To Govt
A bench comprising Justices B Sudershan Reddy and S S Nijjar asked solicitor general Gopal Subramaniam to consider the plea of petitioner Ram Jethmalani’s counsel Anil Divan for constituting a SIT for a thorough investigation into black money, its source and the activities of hawala operators.
Subramaniam said the Enforcement Directorate chief was personally supervising the probe into Khan’s activity as well the tracking of black money abroad and that the court would be apprised about the progress in the investigations by March 28 through a status report.
“The court will then judge whether substantial progress has been made in the investigations or not. If the work is found to be good, the suggestion of the petitioners would not be required to be acted upon,” he said.
Right at the beginning of Friday’s hearing, Khan’s counsel wanted to know what would be the status of his client after the completion of the four-day custody period given to Enforcement Directorate for his interrogation.
While issuing notice to Khan on ED’s petition on which it had cancelled his bail on Thursday, the bench clarified that after the custodial questioning, Khan would be remanded in judicial custody.
