Punjab Cabinet Minister Sanjeev Arora has challenged his ED arrest under PMLA before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seeking quashing of arrest, remand order and Section 19 action, calling it illegal and violative of Articles 14, 21 and 22 of the Constitution of India.
Enforcement Directorate attached Rs 3,034.90 crore assets in alleged bank fraud involving Reliance Communications. Total attachments in Reliance Anil Ambani Group cases now exceed Rs 19,344 crore under PMLA provisions.
The Enforcement Directorate attached assets worth over Rs 3,000 crore linked to Anil Ambani under PMLA, including Mumbai properties, as part of a money laundering probe involving multiple Reliance Group entities.
Delhi High Court observed it may lack jurisdiction to entertain petitions by two Anil Ambani group firms challenging Enforcement Directorate attachments in a laundering case. Justice Purushaindra Kaurav indicated proceedings should be filed in Mumbai, where companies are registered.
