Punjab Government Challenges Enforcement Directorate's GMADA Raids in High Court
The Punjab and Haryana High Court will hear a petition by the Punjab government and GMADA challenging the Enforcement Directorate's 50-hour survey and search at PUDA Bhawan, Mohali, conducted between September 22 and 25. The petition alleges the ED seized over 30 bags of records, copied electronic devices, and detained senior officers overnight without naming them as accused in the related CBI FIR on alleged bank fraud involving Tirupati Infra Projects. The petition seeks quashing of the search authorizations, return of seized materials, and restrictions on data use. The ED linked the investigation to alleged land acquisition irregularities causing potential losses to GMADA and Punjab government.
