The Supreme Court on Wednesday told social activist Teesta Setalvad and her husband that their failure to adhere to the conditions imposed by the Bombay High Court may lead to the cancellation of the anticipatory bail granted to them in a case where they have been accused of misusing foreign funds.
The apex court asked Setalvad and her husband Javed Anand to cooperate with the CBI in its investigation in the case in which their company, Sabrang Communication and Publishing Pvt ltd (SCPPl), had received `1.8 crore from US-based Ford Foundation allegedly without mandatory approval from the Centre.
It orally observed that their “anticipatory bail may be cancelled if they would not follow the conditions imposed by the High Court.”
A three-judge Bench headed by Justice AR Dave issued notice to the couple asking them to respond to the CBI petition seeking their custodial interrogation and charging them with failing to cooperate in the probe of misusing foreign funds received by them and posing a threat to communal harmony.
