THE DELHI High Court on Tuesday declined to grant any interim relief to Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee and his wife Rujira Banerjee in the case challenging the summons issued to them by Enforcement Directorate (ED) and asked the central agency to file a reply within three days. The couple have sought a direction that they be not summoned to Delhi and any further questioning of them be carried out only in Kolkata.
They have been summoned in a money laundering case registered by the agency in connection with CBI’s alleged case of illegal mining and theft of coal from the leasehold areas of Eastern Coalfields Ltd, according to the petition filed before the court.
