ED Appeals Supreme Court Against Delhi HC Order Quashing NewsClick Money Laundering Case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has appealed to the Supreme Court against a Delhi High Court order that quashed a money laundering case and FIR against news portal NewsClick and its editor-in-chief Prabir Purkayastha. The High Court ruled the FIR was an abuse of legal process and found insufficient evidence of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) violations. The ED contends the court overlooked key evidence, conducted a premature factual assessment, and delayed its judgment. The Supreme Court has yet to schedule a hearing.
