Enforcement Directorate Appeals Supreme Court Against Quashing of NewsClick Money Laundering Case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has appealed to the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court's May 29 ruling that quashed a police FIR and money-laundering investigation into NewsClick over alleged foreign funding violations. The ED contends the High Court wrongly dismissed the case without assessing the merits under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, citing procedural constraints that hindered its probe. The agency also alleges the court overlooked key evidence related to foreign investments by PPK Newsclick Studio Private Limited and its association with Worldwide Media Holdings LLC.
