Mumbai: The Bombay High Court Wednesday adjourned the hearing on an appeal filed by alleged money launderer and tax evader Hasan Ali Khan till April 29, his lawyer said.
“Justice R.C. Chauhan adjourned Mr. Khan’s hearing in the high court till April 29,” Khan’s lawyer I.P. Bagaria said.
A Mumbai sessions court had April 13 extended the judicial custody of the Pune-based stud farm owner till April 26, following which he had filed an appeal in the Bombay High Court, which came up for hearing Wednesday.
Khan was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) March 17 after the Supreme Court cancelled the bail granted to him by a trial court. On March 21, the apex court had ordered his custody to the ED for an additional three days.
Among other things, Khan is suspected to have stashed away around $8 billion in Swiss bank accounts, transferring cash and assets out of the country through dubious means and evading taxes on income, with a suspected liability of over Rs.40,000 crore.
