New Delhi: The Supreme
Court Monday said that one could not remain "calm and poised" after
looking at the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) second status report
on money laundering activities of multi-billion tax evader Hasan Ali
Khan.
The apex court bench of Justice B. Sudarshan Reddy and Justice S.S.
Nijjar said: "When we look at the (status) report, it is very
difficult to remain calm and poised as to what was happening in the
country."
"Let the people of this country know what is happening," the bench
added.
The court made this strong observation in the wake of the second
status report the ED submitted to the court on its investigation
into the money laundering activities of Pune-based stud farm owner
Hasan Ali and others.
The status report was submitted to the court in a sealed cover.
At the outset of the hearing, Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium
told the court that Hasan Ali had given a written statement to the
ED that there was a danger to his life and that of his family.
Justice Reddy asked the solicitor general as to why a
multi-disciplinary special investigating team, comprising officials
from the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), Intelligence Bureau (IB),
the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the ED should not be
constituted by the court to investigate the case.
