NEW DELHI: The Union government on Thursday decided to move Supreme Court seeking total recall of its stinging judgment taking over the probe into black money while accusing the government of probing the sensitive economic issue laggardly.
Riled by the appointment of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by a retired judge of the apex court, the Centre will on Friday file an application faulting the judgment on the ground that it amounted to the judiciary taking over the executive's statutory functions and that the entire order be scrapped.
The application drafted by the finance ministry traces case laws to drive home the sanctity of separation of powers under the constitutional scheme and says the July 4 judgment by Justices B Sudershan Reddy and S S Nijjar violated the cardinal principle.
