Bombay High Court Quashes Money Laundering Case Against DB Realty and Vinod Goenka
The Bombay High Court has quashed the Enforcement Directorate's money laundering case against DB Realty and its Managing Director Vinod Goenka, linked to alleged irregularities during Chhagan Bhujbal's tenure as Maharashtra's public works minister. The court ruled that since Parvesh Construction Pvt. Ltd., the source of the alleged proceeds of crime, was discharged due to lack of scheduled offences, the foundation for the PMLA case against DB Realty and Goenka no longer exists. The ED had alleged sham transactions to launder money, which the court dismissed.
