New Delhi: The Centre on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to dispose of a petition filed by former law minister and senior advocate Ram Jethmalani on black money stating that nothing survives after the enactment of a law on black money.
Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar made this submission before a Bench headed by Justice Anil R. Dave even as counsel Balaji Srinivasan, appearing for the petitioner sought for time till July. In his petition, Mr Jethmalani had pointed out that the German government was willing to share the names of 1,400 persons, most of them are Indians who had stashed their money in Liechtenstein Bank. But he said no step was taken to get this information.
He said the Centre had sought information under amended DTAA knowing fully well that only data about future transactions could be obtained under this treaty and not past transactions.
