NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on
Tuesday directed the Centre to reveal
the names of all the Indians who hold
foreign bank accounts by Wednesday.
Rapping the govern-ment for seeking
modifi-
cation
of its
order on
black
money on disclosing the names of Indians who hold accounts in foreign banks, the apex court refused to change its earlier order to exempt the government from not disclosing the names where criminality is not found.
"Why are you trying to protect people having bank accounts in foreign countries. Why are you providing a protective umbrella for all these people. The order was passed in open court in the presence of solicitor general and the new regime can't ask modification of order. We cannot touch our order and we won't change even a word of it," a visibly annoyed Chief Justice HL Dattu, who was heading the bench, said.
