The Supreme Court on October 10, 2022 sought a response from Kerala on a plea by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to transfer the Kerala gold smuggling case to a court in neighbouring Karnataka.
A Bench of Chief Justice of India U.U. Lalit and Justice S. Ravindra Bhat impleaded the State of Kerala and asked it to file its reply by the end of the week and scheduled the case for disposal on October 20.
The court also issued notice to M. Sivasankar, a senior IAS officer, who is also named in the gold smuggling case.
