Jacqueline Fernandez: The court disposed of the ED's petition and directed Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez not to tamper with evidence or interfere with the investigation.
The Delhi High Court has permitted Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, against whom a lookout notice was issued by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with an alleged money laundering case, to travel abroad for IIFA awards subject to certain conditions.
Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain, while dealing with the investigating agency's challenge to the trial court's nod to her to travel to Abu Dhabi, UAE from May 31 to June 6, directed the film star to submit a fixed deposit receipt (FDR) of Rs 1 crore and give an undertaking that in case she does not return, it shall be forfeited along with a surety of Rs 1 crore.
The judge opined that the trial court's order did not call for interference as it was passed after considering the relevant facts and imposed reasonable conditions on the actor to ensure that she returns and joins the investigation.
"The condition as mentioned in para 10 (i) of the impugned order is modified to the extent that the respondent shall submit an FDR of Rs. 1 crore along with an undertaking that in the case of her not return, FDR shall be forfeited in favor of the petitioner before the concerned Court along with a surety of Rs. 1 crore," the court said in its order passed on May 30.
