AirAsia money laundering case: HC asks ED to file its status report
The Delhi High Court directed the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday to file a status report of its investigation in a money laundering case lodged against some officials of AirAsia India whose flying licence has been challenged by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy.
A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar made ED a party in Swamy’s petition challenging the airline’s flying licence and Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance granted to AirAsia — a joint venture of Tata Group and Malaysia’s largest budget airline AirAsia Berhad.
The court directed the probe agency to file its status report in a sealed cover before the next date of hearing on May 14.
