The Supreme Court on November 1 directed activist Teesta Setalvad and her husband Javed Anand to cooperate with the Gujarat Police in connection with a case filed against them over alleged misappropriation of funds.
A three-judge Bench headed by Justice S.K. Kaul passed the order after Additional Solicitor General (ASG) S.V. Raju submitted that the two were not cooperating in the probe.
“Charge sheet has not yet been filed. ASG submits that there is an element of lack of cooperation. Be that as it may, the respondents will cooperate with the investigation as and when required,” the bench also comprising Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and P.K. Mishra said while disposing of a plea by the Gujarat Government challenging grant of anticipatory bail in the matter.
