Enforcement Directorate Appeals Supreme Court Over Quashed NewsClick Foreign Funding Case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has appealed to the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court's May 2026 decision quashing a money-laundering case against NewsClick, alleging foreign funding violations linked to US businessman Neville Roy Singham. The ED claims the High Court prematurely dismissed evidence and misapplied legal standards, citing irregularities in foreign investments and email communications suggesting influence from Chinese-linked networks. NewsClick denies these allegations, asserting its editorial independence. The Supreme Court is now reviewing the ED's challenge.
