Heera Gold Scam

Supreme Court observes that it has been two years and SFIO is unable to decipher evidence due to lack of forensic labs

Justice SK Kaul: 2 years is a long time to find evidence. Obviously our sympathies will then lie with accused

#SupremeCourt

Justice Kaul: so many courts have already noted that Forensic labs are lacking in numbers. You are a premier investigative agency and this is the condition.

#SupremeCourt

Justice Kaul to ASG SV Raju: Also i dont want to recieve whatsapp messages concerning the case. Some one sneaks into my groups and leaves messages. We don't want to get into all of this.

Raju: I am a also a victim of this. Even I recieve such messages

#SupremeCourt

SC: Applicant makes a grievance that considerable period of time has lapsed since a decree was offered for realisation of due. Petitioners have not filed a reply nor from prosecuting agency. Reply be filed in 10 days

SC: It is difficult to envisage a situation where the accused is kept grilling by investigating agency. Burden is on the investigating agency for such expenses.

SC: Number of courts have expressed views on inadequacy on number of forensic labs and it remains unaddressed. If the complexity of the fraud has gone up so has the technological advancement to deal with this both hardware and software.

SC: Another aspect for which apprehension has been expressed by the company is relevant machines was dumped in a truck and taken away three years ago. To say the least 3 years is a long time to get a grip into the offence. We are still waiting for sunlight into it.

SC: The CCS of Telangana state apparently seized the machines. The CCS shall provide a list to the ASG. #supremeCourt

Matter to be now next heard on March 15, 2022

In the end we express concern over the investors sending whatsapp messages to us seeking justice. We appreciate the endeavour but this is not the way to seek justice. We call upon them to refrain henceforth: #SupremeCourt
