NewDelhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate on a plea of absconding billionaire jeweller Nirav Modi in connection with the Punjab National Bank scam. The court said that there’s no clarity on the amount involved in the case.
Issuing a notice to the investigating authority, the Delhi High Court observed that it is not clear under what authority the ED went to search the properties.
Calling the case “sketchy”, the High Court said, “(The court) wants to wait to see what the ED has to say because Vijay Aggarwal (lawyer of Nirav Modi) himself doesn’t seem to be too sure of the facts of the case.”
The court fixed the case for further hearing on March 19.
Talking to mediapersons later, Nirav Modi’s lawyer Vijay Aggarwal said that the court asked the ED to present all documents and called the case sketchy as they do not have all facts. He said, “We told them that this is the basis of our petition that there is no information.”
