<h1>Notice on petition seeking judicially monitored SIT probe into sitting MP's alleged benami assets, corruption, and slow probes</h1> The Supreme Court issued notice on a public-interest petition seeking a court-monitored SIT probe into allegations that a sitting MP from Jharkhand holds disproportionate and benami assets and is involved in corrupt activities, and directed responses from the state government and central agencies including the ED and Income Tax Department. The petitioner seeks an SIT led by a retired high court judge with officers from central probes and state police for time-bound judicially monitored investigation. The high court previously dismissed similar petitions as non-maintainable and not genuine public interest; agencies say prosecutions, reassessments and FIR-based actions are ongoing. The petitioner contends the high court ignored agencies' own admissions of benami/disproportionate assets and the slow pace of probes.
