The Supreme Court today came down heavily on the Centre for failing to crack the whip on black money hoarders and ordered forthwith the reinstatement of three key Enforcement Directorate officials allegedly transferred midway into the probe in a case of foreign exchange law violation by Pune businessman Hasan Ali Khan.

A Bench of Justices B Sudershan Reddy and S S Nijjar also indicated that if the government fails to act, it would be compelled to appoint a special officer to supervise the probe against the offenders.

The apex court also wanted to know what prevented the government from subjecting Khan and other alleged black money launderers to custodial interrogation.

Khan, who is alleged to have stashed around USD 8 billion in foreign banks, had been earlier served tax notice for about Rs. 50,000 crore.

The court castigated the government for failing to interrogate Khan and other alleged offenders despite having sufficient material in the possession of investigators.
"There are instances when minor offenders are shot down for violating Section 144 CrPC, but you don't take any action against these people. We are very sory. All these people are now free," the Bench remarked expressing its dismay.

When Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium tried to make certain submissions, the Bench virtually snubbed him, saying, "What the hell is going on in this country."

It then said it was very unfortunate that the three key officials of the Enforcement Directorate investigating the black money scandal have been abruptly transferred midway into the investigation.

The Bench granted time till Tuesday to the Centre to file its response failing which it said the court would be constrained to pass necessary orders.

The apex court had on February 10, while hearing a petition by noted lawyer Ram Jethmalani and some former bureaucrats on the issue of black money of Indians stashed abroad and its repatriation, had asked the government to ensure that Khan does not leave the country.

"It is your duty to ensure that he is available to face prosecution," the court had said when Subramanium informed it that Khan is in India and the government is taking all necessary steps against him.

The Bench also queried whether the stud farm owner can be made a party to the proceedings before it.[/color]
[center][size=14pt]Bofors case: Court to decide Quattrocchi's fate on Friday[/size][/center]

A Delhi court is likely to decide the fate of the over two-decade-old Bofors payoff case against elusive Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi on Friday.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vinod Yadav will pronounce his order on the CBI's plea seeking withdrawal of the case against 70-year-old Quattrocchi, who has never appeared before any court in India to face trial.

The court, which was to decide on the CBI plea on February 21, had deferred it to March 4.

Advocate Ajay K Agrawal, who is opposing the agency's move, has filed the written arguments alleging Massimo Quattrocchi, son of the Italian businessman, has been visiting India "almost every month for 8 to 10 days and still doing a middleman's job as was earlier done by his father."

"The CBI application does not fulfil the three basic requirements that is bonafide, good faith and public interest and that the government and the CBI are in collusion with Quattrocchi and the plea is filed to bail him out and if it is allowed, he will come to India and start his operations of a middleman," Agrawal said in his written submissions.

The CBI had, in October 2009, sought permission of the court to withdraw the case against Quattrocchi, saying that his continued prosecution was "unjustified" in the light of various factors including the agency's failed attempts to extradite him.

The agency had failed twice in getting him extradited-- first from Malaysia in 2003 and then from Argentina in 2007. He is accused of allegedly receiving a payoff for brokering the Bofors gun deal.

The agency had registered a criminal case on January 20, 1990 to probe who were the beneficiaries of the payoffs in the 1986 Bofors gun deal.

After completing its probe, the agency had filed two charge sheets in the case -- first on October 22, 1999 and the other on October 9, 2000.

The CBI had contended that there was no change in the government's stand on withdrawing the case against Quattrocchi in the wake of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) order, which had said that kickbacks of Rs. 61 crore were paid to late Win Chaddha and Quattrocchi in the Howitzer gun deal.

"The continuance of prosecution against Quattrocchi will be unjustified. It is considered expedient in the interest of justice that the proceedings against him should not be continued and be withdrawn," the CBI had pleaded in its nine-page application seeking withdrawal of case.
