              New Delhi: The 
              Supreme Court Tuesday asked the central government as to why the 
              country's top-most tax evader Hasan Ali could not be booked under 
              stringent laws like the Income Tax Act and the Foreign Exchange 
              Management Act. 
               
              The court asked the government to find out whether Ali had any 
              connections with arms dealers and if his activities had any 
              bearing on national security. 
               
              An apex court bench of Justice B. Sudarshan Reddy and Justice S.S. 
              Nijjar also asked the central government if the investigation into 
              Ali's forged passport cases could be handed over to the Central 
              Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
