Karnataka High Court Quashes ED Money Laundering Case Against Sammaan Capital
The Karnataka High Court quashed the Enforcement Directorate's money laundering case against Sammaan Capital, formerly Indiabulls Housing Finance, ruling that the case could not proceed as the underlying predicate offences no longer sustained the allegations. The court noted that closure reports in some FIRs were accepted, others lacked evidence against the company, and pending reports could not justify continuing proceedings. The ruling referenced a Supreme Court decision stating that money laundering cases cannot continue without foundational offences.
