In a petition to the Supreme Court (SC), former Union law minister Ram Jethmalani and others have sought directives to the Union government, for the retrieval of unaccounted money to the tune of Rs 70 lakh crore, which is allegedly stashed in foreign banks and financial institutions.
The petition is scheduled for a review by a three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, on Wednesday, after senior counsel Anil Diwan, appearing for petitioners, made an spur-of-the-moment request for an early hearing of the case.
