Jacqueline Fernandez faced a legal setback after the Supreme Court refused to intervene in a money laundering case against her.
She had approached the apex court challenging a Delhi High Court order that dismissed her plea to quash proceedings initiated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
On Monday, the Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court’s decision, declining to interfere with the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) related to the alleged Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Augustine George Masih told Fernandez’s lawyer, Mukul Rohatgi, “We will not interfere at this stage.” The plea, filed through advocate Sumeer Sodhi, had sought to quash the ED investigation but was rejected by the High Court on July 3.
