NEW DELHI: A special court will list S K Srivastava, one of 12 tax officials forced to take compulsory retirement in June, an absconder if he fails to appear before it at its next hearing scheduled for September 9, according to NDTV website. Srivastava, an ex-IT commissioner, Income Tax Appeals (Noida), has evaded repeated summons by the CBI to join the investigation against him, NDTV added.
In July the CBI filed a first information report against Srivastava, 56, a Revenue Service official of the 1989 batch, on charges of cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy, the NDTV report said.
