The income tax assessment report of former Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan and his relatives, which has been placed in the Supreme Court, has revealed that his family members had not disclosed crores of income which was found out by the department during the assessment of their assets.
The report was filed by the Centre in the SC, which is hearing a PIL seeking a SIT probe against the former CJI and his family, alleging that properties worth crores of rupees were purchased by them during Balakrishnan's tenure at the top court.
The report contains the assessment of incomes of his daughters, sons-in-law, and brother from the financial year 2005-06 to 2012-13. The report said there was nothing against the ex-CJI but revealed that members of his family had undervalued their assets and finally settled the case after paying tax on the income assessed by the I-T department.
