New Delhi, Sept 19: The trial court proceedings and the bail hearing in relation to Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain and others in a money laundering case were stayed by the Rouse Avenue Court on Monday.
On a request by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to transfer the case to another judge, the District Judge on Monday also served notice to all defendants, including Satyendar Jain. For a thorough hearing, the court has set the subject for September 30, 2022.
On Saturday, the ED filed a motion with the Principal District and Sessions Judge of Rouse Avenue Court requesting that the money laundering case against Satyendar Jain be assigned to a different judge.
After bringing up a number of objections regarding the bail defences the court was considering, the ED petition requested that the case be transferred to Special Judge Geetanjali Goel.
In recent proceedings, special judge Geetanjali Goel criticised the agency for their investigation into a case of money laundering.
The court is currently listening to long arguments regarding the bail petitions filed by Jain and the other two co-accused parties in the case, Ankush Jain and Vaibhav Jain. The accused’s bail hearing had reached its conclusion. All three people are currently being held by authorities.
