The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to stay the summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate to former Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti and issued a notice to the agency and Centre in her petition challenging the summons and Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.
The court has adjourned the hearing to April 16. Mehbooba Mufti has been asked by the ED to appear before it in Delhi on March 22.
Mufti, in her challenge to the summons said that she apprehends she may be made an accused by the ED. The PDP leader in the petition also alleged that the state has resorted to “a series of hostile acts” against her acquaintances and family friends ever since her release from preventive detention last year.
