Are you sleeping? SC ask centre

New Delhi, April 22: “Were government sleeping all these years on the issue of blackmoney,” was how the Supreme Court today said while criticising Centre’s probe restricting to an individual and being evasive about the idea of an investigation by the Special Investigating Team.

The apex court said the investigation into the issue of black money required “complete” and “full-fledged” involvement of government as the most important question was about the disclosure of source of money stashed in foreign banks which may be terror money or money coming from drug peddling.

A bench of justices B Sudershan Reddy and S S Nijjar asked the governemnt to explain why its investigation is focused only on Pune stud farm owner Hassan Ali Khan and no other name has come out who have stashed money in overseas banks.

“Your whole focus is centred on one individual.
