https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=85483 HC directed formation of Special Investigation Team (SIT) under CBI Zonal Director's supervision to investigate allegations of large-scale financial fraud, money laundering, and misappropriation of public funds. The case involved fraudulent activities through shell companies in tax havens, unsecured advances to subsidiaries, and creation of fictitious invoices spanning multiple jurisdictions including Mauritius, USA, Australia, and UAE. Given the magnitude of the alleged scam involving thousands of crores, multiple jurisdictions, nationalized banks, and international entities, the Court determined that neither EOW nor CBI alone could ensure fair investigation.
