TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee and his wife Rujira Banerjee have approached Delhi High Court against the summons issued to them by Enforcement Directorate on Sept. 10 under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. The couple have sought a direction that they be not summoned to Delhi and any further examination 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.
