Delhi HC Seeks Satyendar Jain's Response in ED's Money Laundering Case

The Delhi High Court issued a notice to AAP leader Satyendar Jain over the ED's request to defer a trial in a money laundering case. The ED cited a CBI supplementary charge indicating increased funds, planning another complaint. Hearing set for March 3, 2025.

The Delhi High Court on Monday issued a notice to Aam Aadmi Party leader Satyendar Jain, seeking his response to the Enforcement Directorate's request to defer a trial court hearing in a money laundering case involving alleged disproportionate assets.

The ED argued that a recent supplementary chargesheet by the CBI revealed a larger sum of money than initially investigated, prompting the possibility of a supplementary prosecution complaint by the agency. Special counsel Zoheb Hossain represented the ED in court.

Justice Vikas Mahajan scheduled the hearing for March 3, 2025. Senior Advocate N Hariharan, representing Jain, stated that his client would outline his position in a written response. Jain had earlier sought the deferment, citing ongoing investigations and the need for complete data before commencing arguments.
