Times
of India: New Delhi: Wednesday, 06 May 2015.
The Centre
has claimed that it has no records of the six-decades-old Hyderabad Funds case
in which over one million pounds of the Nizam's wealth lying in a bank in
England was transferred to the-then high commissioner of Pakistan in London in
1948.
Surprisingly,
Press Information Bureau had issued a press release in 2008 claiming that the
Union Cabinet has cleared for an out-of-court settlement with Pakistan over the
issue.
The Central
Information Commission has now directed the external affairs ministry to
disclose whether any negotiation process was started between India and
Pakistan.
The case
relates to RTI application filed by Akbar Ali Khan who wanted from the law
ministry the certified copies of records pertaining to deposits made on September
20, 1948.
