The Law minister told reporters that the two bank accounts of the Italian businessman in London were not frozen permanently.
The CBI move might lead to deferring of the two accounts.
A bench headed by Justice C K Thakker issued notices to the Centre and the Central Bureau and sought their replies within a week.
A senior leader of the party said that the arrest of Quattrocchi could not have taken place without the express approval of Sonia Gandhi who may have decided to dump him as he was becoming a liability for her and her party.
"We will wait, study the judgement and then chalk out our future course of action," CBI Director Vijay Shanker told PTI.
The Italian businessman is one of the main accused in the Bofors payoff scam.
The sources said the CBI would do everythng possible to trace the movement of the money to the account, which included questioning Quattrocchi, if required. \n\n
Does the public, in this case our readers, you, really care about who Quattrocchi is? Has the Bofors scandal become one of those meaningless exercises with no end in sight?
The London high court had upheld the decision of the British government to freeze on India's request Quattrocchi two accounts having three million Euros and one million dollars respectively.
The CBI has sent a Letters Rogatory requesting freezing of Rs 21 crore in the name of Ottavio Quattrocchi, the main accused in the Rs 64 crore scam.

India's top investigating agency says the Italian businessman, believed to be involved in the Rs 6.4 million Bofors payoff scam, is hiding in Italy.
BJP alleged that banks were 'pushed' into giving Rs 3,100 crore loan to him and unfreezing his bank accounts in 2012.

Sushma Swaraj packs in the punches against the Congress.
Controversial Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi, who was a key figure in the Bofors payoffs scandal, has died in Milan following a stroke.
'Let the bankers take all steps to recover their money.'
It said it was not convinced with the grounds of the CBI to condone over 4,500 days' delay in filing the appeal. The CBI had filed the appeal on February 2 this year.
After lot of deliberation, the CBI this year got the nod from the NDA government to file an appeal in the apex court.
Swaraj tore into the Congress, saying it had helped Bofors accused Ottavio Quattrocchi and Bhopal gas leak accused Warren Anderson flee from India.
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking him to bring back former Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi to face the law.
The Congress, which was not a petitioner before the apex court, wants the Rafale deal to be referred to a Joint Parliamentary Committee to go into the price arrived at by the BJP government versus the one negotiated by the previous UPA regime, as also how billionaire Anil Ambani's group with virtually no experience in manufacture of fighter jets was selected as an offset partner for the deal.
Why 'anti-Romeo'? Why not 'anti-loafer' squad? Or 'anti-Majnu' squad?' wonders Syed Firdaus Ashraf.
The CBI had moved the trial court seeking permission for further probe in the matter saying it had come across fresh material and evidence.
'You had earlier sent a Prime Minister from Assam (referring to Manmohan Singh) whom people do not even remember now'
A combative Rahul Gandhi asked how the govt allowed liquor baron Vijay Mallya, who owes over Rs 9,000 crore to banks, to leave the country.
The debate on the Rafale jet fighter deal saw a head-on collision between the government and the Congress in Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Gandhi said Modi has betrayed the people, claiming that he had not fulfilled promises of providing two crore jobs every year and "depositing" Rs 15 lakh in their bank accounts.
