Delhi High Court criticised the ED for freezing a woman’s bank account without proper legal grounds and mixing up key PMLA procedures. The Court said suspicion cannot replace “reason to believe” and called the ED’s approach a legal “khichdi.”
The Patna High Court directed the Bihar Education Department to avoid coercive action against state universities and officials until further notice amid ongoing disputes.
