Delhi HC allows Mehbooba Mufti to skip March 15 summon sent by ED

Delhi HC has told ED not to insist on Mehbooba Mufti's presence on March 15. She was summoned by the ED in connection with an unspecified money laundering case.

In an interim relief to PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, the Delhi High Court on Wednesday told the Enforcement Directorate (ED) not to insist on her presence on March 15. On March 5, the ED had issued summons Mehbooba Mufti to appear before it on March 15 in connection with a money laundering case. The probe agency, however, did not mention the case or charges for which she was being summoned. “It is an interim relief to my client. The hearing for the court case has now been scheduled on March 19,” Mufti’s counsel said.
