Delhi High Court Stalls Trial in AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan Money Laundering Case

The Delhi High Court issued a notice to AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan after the Enforcement Directorate challenged his release by a trial court in a money laundering case linked to the Delhi Waqf Board. Proceedings are paused until March 2025, with the ED ordered to clarify their stance on prosecution sanctions.

The Delhi High Court has put a hold on the trial court proceedings involving AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in a significant money laundering case associated with the Delhi Waqf Board. The ED's appeal against Khan's release has resulted in proceedings being halted until March 21, 2025.

Justice Vikas Mahajan's bench directed the ED to clarify its position on prosecution sanctions, highlighting the issue's importance in the legal process. The High Court emphasized the necessity for the agency to address the sanction directly rather than using it as a peripheral argument.

Amanatullah Khan's case revolves around allegations of funds being misappropriated for purchasing property worth Rs 36 crore. The Rouse Avenue Court had previously released Khan, citing a lack of prosecution sanction, despite evidence presented by the ED linking him to the financial misconduct.
