Black money: SIT to decide further action on list 627 names, says Supreme Court
Following the Supreme Court's direction, Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi said, "We gave 627 names in a sealed cover to the court along with a status report. Last date for assessment for all these accounts is 31 March 2015. The court after hearing both sides, did not open the cover but directed that the sealed envelope be given to the SIT itself. The SIT will there after see what it has to do and proceed in accordance with law."
This same list had been submitted to the SIT in June earlier this year, the AG added. The apex court has asked SIT to verify the list given by the government and carry on with probe. It has however, sought a report by November end.
Rohatagi refused to divulge any names but added that at least half of them were from India while the remaining where non-resident Indians. These 627 names were got by the government of India in 2012 from the government of France. An employee of HSBC Holdings Plc's Swiss branches had allegedly stolen this data, he added.
