"Not In Good Taste": In Amazon Case, Enforcement Directorate Rebuked
NDTV
Hina Doon had written saying the Covid pandemic made it difficult for her to travel to Delhi as she was the parent of an unvaccinated young child
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday reprimanded the Enforcement Directorate for insisting that a top Amazon executive - a resident of Mumbai and the mother of a two-year-old child - be physically present to answer a summons issued as part of its probe into the Amazon-Future Group deal.
The court told the agency it could not demand Hina Doon travel to Delhi, despite being unable to arrange a temporary guardian, and potentially risk herself and the child being infected with Covid.
"It (insisting that Ms Doon travel) is not in good taste. This is not the manner in which an officer should respond..." the High Court told the agency.
"We are not defending it. We too share (the court's) concern, and we will convey it to the officers..." Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the central government, told the court.
