The counsel appeared through video conferencing and specifically pointed out that the applicant is not an accused in the predicate CBI case and is arrayed only in the proceedings initiated by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) under PMLA.
Despite this, the interim direction passed without notice or hearing to him has the effect of stalling proceedings before the PMLA Court, thereby directly and adversely impacting his rights, the counsel said.
The application further highlighted that the said direction continues to operate even after the discharge of all accused in the predicate offence.
The trial court had discharged all accused persons, including Arvind Kejriwal and others, in the CBI case linked with the Delhi Excise policy case. An appeal against the discharge order is pending before the Delhi High Court. (ANI)
