Abhishek Banerjee’s plea to quash summons in PMLA case premature: ED to HC
The Enforcement Directorate told the Delhi High Court on Tuesday that the plea by TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee and his wife seeking quashing of its summons in a money laundering case, linked to an alleged coal scam in West Bengal, was premature and not maintainable.
The ED argued that Banerjee and his wife Rujira are seeking quashing of the summons and not appearing before the probe agency for questioning and then claiming that they are not averse to the investigation and not coming in its way.
It is like saying I am not getting married to a woman, I am only solemnising the marriage, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the ED, submitted before Justice Yogesh Khanna.
