However, Burman, who had yesterday sought permission to travel to Hong kong to attend his elder brother's death anniversary, today chose a new ground that he wanted to attend the 70th birthday of his brother's wife.
Income Tax Department's standing counsel Brijesh Garg while opposing his earlier plea, had said Burman should not be allowed to travel abroad as a "pleasure treat" in routine course.
Burman is facing prosecution in a complaint filed by IT Department alleging that he was holding foreign bank accounts which he had not disclosed in his income tax returns and there were undisclosed deposits in those two accounts.
Burman, in his fresh plea, said it was erroneously mentioned earlier that he wanted to go to attend his brother's death anniversary for five days from January 22.
Seeking a review of the court's yesterday order dismissing his plea seeking permission to go abroad, Burman said he wished to go to Hong Kong to attend the birthday party of his deceased brother's wife as he wanted to stay connected with that family to take care of them.
The court had earlier allowed Burman twice to go abroad including London to attend his ailing younger brother there.
The court had yesterday denied him permission to go abroad saying there was no justifiable ground for it.
It had said there was nothing on record to show that it was necessary for him to attend the family function and if such permission is granted to accused persons, there would be no end for foreign visits without justifiable ground.
