May 11, 2015  21:07
The Supreme Court today told BJP leader Subramanian Swamy that it will hear him tomorrow on the issue of black money when the Special Investigation Team is also likely to file a fresh status report.

A bench, comprising Chief Justice H L Dattu and justices Arun Mishra and Amitava Roy, said that it will take up the matter tomorrow at 4 pm.

The BJP leader, in his plea, has suggested some measures for bringing back black money. Earlier, the Supreme Court had asked the SIT, headed by former apex court judge Justice M B Shah, to file a fresh status report by May 12 on the progress made by it on black money probe.

Prior to this, it had asked the SIT to consider suggestions of senior advocate Ram Jethmalani, who had filed a PIL in 2009 on the black money issue, on the way forward to bring the illegal money stashed in banks abroad.

The court had also said that the SIT, after considering the suggestions in accordance with law, would be sending "a copy of its report to that effect" in a sealed cover to the apex court.
