New Delhi: A day after the government filed affidavit in the Supreme Court where it disclosed eight names including three of those who allegedly have black money account in foreign banks, the apex court will continue hearing about the case Tuesday.
In one of the historic moments in the going black money case, the Centre on Monday disclosed the names of three individuals, Pradip Burman (former director, Dabur India Limited) and Pankaj Chimanlal Lodhiya (Rajkot-based bullion) and Radha S Tamblo (Goa-based miner), as those having accounts in foriegn banks.
Interesting, no political names were revealed though the government said it had no intention of holding back any names that was in the list.
However, the government came under criticism, both from the party and the opposition, for being 'selective' in revealing the names.
Therefore, it will be interesting to see if the Supreme Court will agree to the Centre's argument of not providing the full list of account holders.
Nevertheless, the Centre on Monday promised to disclose more names of black money holders who have come under its scanner. However, it said that all foreign bank accounts cannot be termed as "illegal".
