The special judge, M G Deshpande, has sought a response from the Enforcement Directorate.

The court also directed the applicants to produce proof authorising them to seek relief in the representative capacity on behalf of all the MVA members- Shiv Sena, NCP, and Congress.

The relief claimed in the application is against the ED, Mumbai.

Upon failure to produce any Vakalatnamas or an authority letter to represent the MVA members, notices will be issued to every member of the MVA whether they have made such an application in this court, the court said.

The matter will be heard on Wednesday.

The plea claimed that the BJP-led Union government is misusing Central agencies to harass the members of other parties, especially components of MVA, with malafide intention and ulterior motive to suppress the Maharashtra government.
