A Delhi court on Monday stayed the trial court proceedings and bail hearing in Satyendar Jain and others in a money laundering case.
The District Judge of Rouse Avenue Court also issued notice to all accused on the Enforcement Directorate (ED) plea seeking transfer of the case to another judge.
The ED filed an application on September 15, seeking the transfer of proceedings from the court of Special Judge Geetanjali Goel.
The ED decided to move an application on Thursday at a time when the hearing of bail proceedings of Jain, who was arrested on May 30, was in its final stages.
Jain was arrested in connection with alleged money laundering involving a Kolkata-based hawala transactions case. The ED had earlier attached properties to the tune of over Rs 4.81 crore in the case.
The ED this year filed a charge sheet against Jain, his wife Poonam Jain, Vaibhav Jain, Ankush Jain, Ajit Prasad Jain, and Sunil Jain, including four private firms, as accused under the sections for violations of the money laundering act.
The ED said that its case is based on the FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against the accused persons on August 24, 2017.
The ED said that as per the allegations in the said FIR, Jain, while posted and functioning as a minister in the Delhi government, had acquired assets disproportionate to his known sources of income to the tune of ₹1.62 crore during the period from February 14, 2015, to May 31, 2017, with the help of other persons and his family members namely his wife Poonam Jain, Ajit Prasad Jain, Sunil Kumar Jain, Vaibhav Jain, and Ankush Jain.
