Delhi High Court Examines ED's Appeal Against Amanatullah Khan in Waqf Board Money Laundering Case

The Delhi High Court sought AAP leader Amanatullah Khan's response to the ED's appeal against a trial court's decision to not take cognisance of a chargesheet in a money laundering case linked to the Delhi Waqf Board. The trial court deferred its proceedings as per the high court's directive.

The Delhi High Court has requested the position of AAP leader Amanatullah Khan concerning the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) appeal. The appeal challenges a trial court's refusal to take cognisance of a chargesheet against Khan in a money laundering investigation tied to the Delhi Waqf Board.

Justice Vikas Mahajan issued a notice to Khan, the AAP MLA from Okhla, and scheduled the matter for further proceedings on March 21. The trial court was asked to defer its ongoing proceedings until the high court session.

The ED claims that Khan was involved in laundering money gained through alleged corruption in the Delhi Waqf Board. This investigation follows earlier FIRs linked to alleged irregularities and disproportionate assets recorded by the CBI and Delhi Police's anti-corruption unit.
