Black money case: Court asks IT dept to give docs to Qureshi

A Delhi court on Monday asked Income Tax Department to supply documents to businessman Moin Qureshi, who is facing prosecution in a black money case for allegedly not disclosing an income of nearly Rs 20 crore.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Pritam Singh directed the IT department to provide legible copies of documents by September 11, the next <g data-gr-id="17">date,</g> after Qureshi's counsel said some of the documents were illegible.

The court had earlier granted bail to Qureshi, a meat <g data-gr-id="15">exporter,</g> after he had appeared before it as an accused following summons issued to him in the case. Qureshi's employee Aditya Sharma, also summoned as accused in the case, was granted bail by the court after he appeared before it and furnished the bail bond.

While granting bail, the court had imposed the condition that both of them would not leave the country without its prior permission.

The court had earlier taken cognisance of IT department's complaint under various provisions of the IT Act relating to making false statement and the IPC for alleged offences of criminal conspiracy, giving or fabricating false evidence in a judicial proceeding.
