November,26,2016:
On Friday, Supreme Court refused to order an inquiry into the documents recovered by the Income Tax (I-T) department during its raids at the Birla and Sahara offices that allegedly showed payoffs to politicians.
Apex Court expounded that it could not order inquiry against a Chief Minister or Prime Minister only because there is an entry in a computer system showing payments made to them.
Supreme Court further directed Department to find better material for it to start an inquiry.
Plea had been filed by an NGO seeking a probe in the matter. Apex Court gave more time to the NGO and has deferred the hearing to December 14.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had accused the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for receiving bribes when he was the Gujarat CM and had also sought a judicial probe into the issue.
