Srinagar: PDP President and former Jammu and Kashmir CM Mehbooba Mufti got relief from the Delhi High Court on Wednesday in the money laundering case. The High Court has today stayed the summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Judge Siddharth Mridul and Anup J. Bhambhani's bench also issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seeking its reply. The bench gave this interim order while hearing a petition filed on behalf of PDP leader Mufti.

PDP leader Mufti, while filing a petition in the High Court on Tuesday, challenged the ED summons issued for appearing in the money laundering case. The ED, while issuing summons, directed him to appear on March 15 for questioning in the case. In the summons, Mehbooba has been instructed to come to the ED headquarters in Delhi on 15 March.

In this case, Mehbooba Mufti has demanded that these summonses be declared void and inactive under Section 50 of the Money Laundering Act. The petition states that the summons is unfairly biased, a violation of security measures, and a direct violation of Article 20 (3). The petition states that Section 50 of the money laundering empowers the officials to provide information to the petitioner regarding summons, documents, and other evidence.
