The Centre has requested the Supreme Court to transfer Anil Ambani's petition challenging the Black Money Act from the Bombay High Court to the Delhi High Court. This matter was heard by a Bench with Chief Justice Surya Kant presiding. The Union government has been given two weeks to provide detailed information regarding similar challenges in various High Courts. The Supreme Court questioned the transfer, seeking an explanation for why one High Court was being preferred over another.
Advocate Zoheb Hossain, representing the government, argued that the Bombay High Court petition is "in cold storage," while the Delhi High Court case is "ripe for hearing." Chief Justice Kant suggested that the Delhi High Court could consider the case first and then the decision could be cited in the Bombay High Court. However, Hossain raised concerns about the multiplicity of proceedings, suggesting that the Delhi High Court's decision might lead to a transfer request to the Bombay High Court. The matter was subsequently adjourned for Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to argue the case.
