Kochi, Feb 19 (IANS) Veteran CPI-M leader and former Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Isaac on Monday again did not appear before the ED in the Kerala High Court in the masala bonds case.
However, Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) has agreed to appear before the court in the same case.
On Monday, the Court pointed out that they will ensure that there will be no arrest nor will any one be put under duress.
Isaac’s counsel said that there was no need for him to appear. However, ED in its response said that Isaac is the main person who knows everything about the masala bond case and that is why he must appear before the court.
The ED informed the court that he will not be arrested and the entire questioning will be filmed and will be brought to the court.
Meanwhile, the counsel of KIIFB has informed the court that the CEO will not be able to appear but another top official will appear before ED on the 27th and 28th of this month. The ED has agreed to the KIIFB appeal.
The court then issued the orders to Isaac asking him to appear before the court on March 8.
Isaac has so far been served five notices to appear before the ED but has not turned up.
