Anil Deshmukh Moves Bombay HC Against ED Summons In Corruption Case
Mumbai: Former Maharashtra Minister Anil Deshmukh on Thursday moved the Bombay High Court against the summons issued to him by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case.
Deshmukh’s application came up for hearing before a single bench of Justice Revati Mohite Dere.
However, Justice Dere recused himself from hearing the application without assigning any reason and said, ‘not in front of me’.
The second bench will hear the application at an appropriate time.
The ED had launched the probe against Deshmukh and his associates on April 21 this year after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed an FIR against the NCP leader on charges of corruption and misuse of official position.
The ED’s case is that while serving as the state home minister, Deshmukh allegedly abused his position and collected Rs 4.70 crore from various bars and restaurants in Mumbai through sacked police officer Sachin Vaze.
