A special court said that if Ketan Parekh, former stock market operator behind the 2000-2001 securities scam, is granted blanket permission to travel abroad for over four months, the possibility of him indulging in unlawful activity cannot be ruled out. Special judge R M Jadhav had on Tuesday rejected Parekh’s plea to travel for four months to various countries. It was also submitted that the right to travel abroad is a basic human right. It was cited that he was last given such permission to travel from December 2024-March 2025. Hence, the application in hand is liable to be rejected,” the court said.
