Jacqueline’s plea dismissed: SC refuses to intervene in Rs 200 crore money laundering case
Colombo, Sept. 22 (Daily Mirror) – Jacqueline Fernandez has suffered a legal setback after the Supreme Court refused to interfere in a case involving alleged money laundering.
Fernandez had approached the apex court challenging a Delhi High Court order that dismissed her plea to quash proceedings by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
As reported by PTI, the Supreme Court on Monday refused to interfere with the Delhi High Court’s order that dismissed Fernandez’s plea to quash the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to an FIR, in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case. The case involves alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Augustine George Masih told senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, who represented Fernandez, “We will not interfere at this stage.” The plea, filed through advocate Sumeer Sodhi, challenged the High Court’s July 3 order, which had dismissed Fernandez’s petition seeking to quash the ED’s investigation.
