The Supreme Court today questioned the government’s reluctance to disclose the names of Indian nationals who have stashed black money in foreign banks, asking “what is the big deal about it?”
The apex court refused to be drawn into Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium’s submission that the government was ready to share documents on the investigation with the court, but had reservations in revealing the details to any other person.
“Forget about the documents. Tell us what privilege you are claiming for these names... Anyway, what is the big deal about disclosing the names?” a Bench of Justices B Sudershan Reddy and S S Nijjar asked the Solicitor General, who represents the central government. Subramanium sought a week’s “accommodation” to consult the government.
