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

The Delhi High Court has requested AAP leader Satyendar Jain's response to the Enforcement Directorate's plea to postpone arguments on charge framing in a money laundering case. The ED aims to defer the charges until a supplementary prosecution complaint is filed, citing ongoing investigations by the CBI.

The Delhi High Court has called upon AAP leader Satyendar Jain to respond to a request from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to delay discussions on charge framing in a money laundering case involving him. Justice Vikas Mahajan issued notice after the ED filed an application as part of Jain's ongoing petition.

Jain, previously arrested by the ED in May 2022 and granted bail in October 2024, seeks to defer arguments on framing charges until the investigation concludes. The ED supports this deferment until it files its supplementary chargesheet, echoing the basis of Jain's primary petition.

This decision follows the CBI's expansion of a related chargesheet, which increased the alleged disproportionate assets from Rs 1.47 crore to Rs 3.95 crore. The court is set to reconvene on March 3 to deliberate further on the petition and the ED's application.
