Principal Sessions Judge M.L. Tahaliyani also pulled up ED counsel Niti Punde for being unprepared to argue the case. Punde was later replaced by ED with Delhi-based lawyer
Rajiv Awasthi.

The new public prosecutor submitted a report in a sealed envelope to the court. Awasthi said he was not in a position to disclose anything in the open court.

“The investigations are proceeding in a positive direction,” Awasthi said.

Khan is said to have stashed away $8 billion (Rs.36,000 crore) abroad and is allegedly India's biggest tax defaulter.
