New Delhi, March 8 (IANS) The Supreme Court Tuesday asked the central government as to why the country's top-most tax evader Hasan Ali could not be booked under stringent laws like the Income Tax Act and the Foreign Exchange Management Act.
The court asked the government to find out whether Ali had any connections with arms dealers and if his activities had any bearing on national security.
An apex court bench of Justice B. Sudarshan Reddy and Justice S.S. Nijjar also asked the central government if the investigation into Ali's forged passport cases could be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
