DELHI: The Delhi High Court has restrained the Enforcement Directorate from taking further steps under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in connection with the attachment of properties of Maharashtra’s former revenue minister Eknath Khadse and his family members till August 25.
Nearly 10 months after the ED attached assets worth Rs 5.73 crore of NCP leader Eknath Khadse, his wife Mandakini Khadse, and son-in-law Girish Chaudhri in connection with a money laundering case, the central agency on May 30 issued an eviction notice instructing them to vacate all the properties that were attached last year.
The agency has been investigating Khadse and Chaudhri for buying land in Pune’s Bhosari village for Rs 3.75 crore when its actual value was over Rs 31 crore. The ED has alleged that the land was purchased in Chaudhri’s name and the money for the deal was allegedly routed through five shell companies.
Subsequently, the agency sought approval from the adjudicating authority, following which the ED served the accused a notice to vacate the attached properties. The Khadse family moved the Delhi High Court against the ED’s action.
On June 6, Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri was hearing a plea by Eknath Khadse, his wife Mandakini, and Chaudhri seeking quashing of the May 24 order of the adjudicating authority and staying the same till the disposal of the writ plea.
