A court here on Friday fixed August 20 to hear arguments on charges in a case against Dabur India promoter Pradip Burman, who figures in the list given by the government to the Supreme Court on the black money issue.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Pritam Singh set August 20 to hear arguments on the charges in the tax evasion case against Burman, against whom a case was registered under the Income Tax Act for offences relating to concealment of income and tax evasion.

According to the Income Tax Department's complaint, Burman held foreign bank accounts but did not disclose these in his income tax returns, and there were undisclosed deposits in the accounts.
