Justice MB Shah, who probed the allegations of corruption, including land allocation to Tata Nano project, Sunday said the charges levelled against the then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi were "baseless".
SC said it was more interested in getting the black money abroad back to India than the disclosure of names of illegal account holders in foreign banks.
While much has been made of the fact that the NDA had the same stand as UPA on disclosing list on black money, the difference is how Modi appointed SIT without a second thought.
Among the other cases the SIT is probing reportedly include a ponzi scheme, defence deals, Ketan Parekh stock market scam and other import-export cases.
The Supreme Court-appointed SIT, looking into the black money cases, on Thursday said it will go after the offenders "big or small" and will submit its report by the first week of December.
