The Enforcement Directorate (ED) moves the Supreme Court challenging a High Court order that quashed proceedings in the money laundering case involving NewsClick. Across reports, the ED argues that the High Court did not properly examine the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) aspect of the case before setting aside the proceedings.
The outlets frame the dispute as a procedural and judicial review matter, focused on whether the lower court order sufficiently engaged with the money laundering allegations. One report also adds that the ED points to an inordinate delay—about five months—in the High Court pronouncing its judgment.
While multiple outlets describe the same core step—ED approaching the Supreme Court to contest the High Court relief—the emphasis varies between simply stating that the challenge has been filed and specifying the ED’s grounds, including the alleged failure to examine the PMLA issues and the timing of the High Court’s ruling.
