New Delhi, May 21 (IANS): The central government Wednesday moved the Supreme Court seeking modification of its earlier orders on setting up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the flight of black money to tax havens abroad and bringing it back.
The apex court is likely to hear Friday the centre’s plea seeking modification of the court’s direction to constitute the SIT.
The Centre Wednesday urged the court to give it another two weeks’ time to issue the notification on setting up of the SIT.
The court by its May 1 order had given the government three weeks’ time to issue a notification setting up the SIT to be presided by former apex court judges Justice M.B. Shah and Justice Arijit Pasayat as chairman and vice chairman to guide and direct the investigation. The three weeks’ time ends May 22.
