New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against the bail granted to former Karnataka minister DK Shivakumar by the Delhi High Court in a money laundering case. Let us tell you that veteran Congress leader and former Karnataka minister D.K. Shivkumar was granted bail by the Delhi High Court on Wednesday (23 Akutbar).
The court ordered him to fill a personal bond of Rs 25 lakh. The Delhi High Court also directed him not to go abroad without permission. Sivakumar was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on September 3 in a money laundering case. The ED is investigating this matter. Shivakumar played a key role in forming a coalition government of Janata Dal (Secular) and Congress in Karnataka.
Judge Nariman said strongly to the ED that our orders cannot be taken lightly. The top court pulled up the ED and said that you cannot behave like this with the citizens of the country. This is not the proper approach. The ED should ask its officials to read the decisions of the top court. In September 2018, the ED had filed a money laundering case against veteran Congress leader DK Shivakumar, an employee of Karnataka Bhavan in Delhi and others.
