Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has approached the Supreme Court challenging the string of summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering investigation against him, NDTV reported.
The development comes days before Soren is required to appear before the federal agency on September 23. Last month, Soren had requested the ED to withdraw the summons, warning of legal action.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear his case on September 18.
The investigation pertains to an alleged money laundering case connected to an illegal mining case in Jharkhand's Sahibganj district.
