Goa’s Chief Minister, Pramod Sawant, has vowed to protect investors and appeal to the Supreme Court regarding the recent Bombay High Court order to transfer cases related to the Economic Offences Cell (EOC) to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Sawant emphasized the need to safeguard investors’ interests and ensure that the state’s image is not tarnished due to the ongoing investigations. The move comes after the Bombay High Court directed the transfer of all cases handled by the EOC to the CBI, citing the need for a thorough and unbiased investigation. Sawant assured that his government would take all necessary steps to protect the interests of investors and ensure that justice is served. The Chief Minister also stated that the state government would appeal to the Supreme Court to review the Bombay High Court’s decision and stressed the importance of maintaining transparency and accountability in the investigation process. The decision to transfer the cases to the CBI has raised concerns among investors and businesses in the state, with many fearing the impact on Goa’s reputation as an investment-friendly destination. Sawant’s assurance to protect investors and appeal to the Supreme Court aims to address these concerns and reaffirm the government’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring a fair and impartial investigation process.
