| Expressing dissatisfaction over the probe agencies not looking into sources of black money, the Supreme Court on Monday asked the Centre to appraise it on the investigation concerning the national security aspect in the black money case involving Pune-based stud farm owner Hasan Ali Khan. "No further information is coming out. Only one individual is there. What about others?" asked an apex court bench of Justices B Sudershan Reddy and S S Nijjar to Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium, who submitted to the bench, in a sealed cover, the Enforcement Directorate's status report of its probe in the case. The apex court opined that it is very difficult to be calm and quiet after going through the status report submitted on the probe by the Enforcement Directorate. "Why all these agencies were sleeping since 2008? Why it moved when we stepped in? If writ petition had not been filed, nothing would have happened," the bench observed, while hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking retrieval of black money stashed by Indian citizens in banks abroad. Former Union Law Minister Ram Jethmalani had filed the PIL. |
