Ram Jethmalani & Ors vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the inaction of the Union of India regarding the recovery of large sums of money deposited by Indian citizens in foreign banks, particularly Swiss banks, under Writ Petition (Civil) No.176 of 2009. The Court emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the alleged proceeds of crime linked to individuals like Hassan Ali Khan and the Tapurias, leading to the appointment of a Special Investigation Team. The Court held that the complexities of the case necessitated coordination among various governmental agencies to ensure effective action against unlawful activities funded by these deposits.
