SC LD BLACKMONEY 2

The bench said it has gone through various status
reports filed by ED but nowhere did it find any mention of
the sources of money.
Referring to the status report filed on Monday by the
government on ED's probe, one of the judges said "I went
through it all night...reading the status report and the
interrogation report filed by you and I found that there was
no considerable effort to find out the sources of money. We
have found only three-four questions but we have not found
anything about the sources of money.
"It is not that they were foreigners. All of them were
here but in three years we find that you have not done
anything. It is more than three years. You have been
investigating it since 2008. The fundamental question is about
the sources of money," the bench said.
It also took into consideration of the allegation by
petitioners Ram Jethmalani and others that the Maharashtra
Police officer, who had prepared the CD on the interrogation
of Pune stud farm owner Hasan Ali Khan, has been suspended
after he sought permission to intervene in the matter in the
apex court.
The bench directed the government to place before it
by April 8, in a sealed cover, the CD and transcripts of
Khan's statements recorded by police officer Ashok
Deshbhratar.
The court also directed the Union and the Maharashtra
governments to provide adequate protection to Hasan Ali Khan,
facing probe for allegedly stashing away black money abroad
and evading taxes, and his family.
