New Delhi, Sept 21: The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered a sessions court to hear an Enforcement Directorate (ED) petition asking for the transfer of Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain’s bail hearing in a money laundering case to a different court on September 22.
The ED had submitted a plea asking for the transfer of Satyendra Jain’s money laundering case from one court to another.
The Rouse Avenue Court’s principal district and sessions judge was ordered by the apex court to consider the transfer petition on September 22 alone and render a decision.
On September 19, Principal District and Sessions Judge Vinay Kumar Gupta granted the ED’s request to transfer the case to another judge by staying the bail hearing procedures and giving Jain and the other co-accused in the case notice.
In a case based on a FIR that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed against the Aam Aadmi Party leader under the Prevention of Corruption Act in 2017, the ED had detained Jain and two other people.
