New Delhi: The Central government on Tuesday faced the ire of the Supreme Court for failing to implement its three-year-old directions including setting up of a special investigation team (SIT) to probe all cases of black money and disclose information received from Germany about the individuals stashing money in Liechtenstein Bank.
"It is totally contempt of our directions," a bench headed by Justice H L Dattu said, while disapproving of the contention of Solicitor General (SG) Mohan Parasaran who submitted that all the directions given in the July 4, 2011 judgement were inter-connected and the disclosure of names received from Germany was to be done after the investigation by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).
Apex court directive on road safety
New Delhi: Indian roads have proved to be giant killers demanding immediate remedial action, the Supreme Court said. The apex court appointed a three-member committee, headed by its judge Justice K S Radhakrishnan, to monitor steps taken by the Centre and the State governments to ensure road safety and to curb growing number of accidents. It directed all government departments which are looking after multi-dimensional issues pertaining to road safety to submit their first report to the Committee within three months on implementation and enforcement of laws pertaining road safety devices and other related issues. "The facts mentioned above would leave no room for doubt that Indian roads have proved to be giant killers demanding immediate attention and remedial action," a bench, headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam, said while referring to data of growing road accidents.
