The Delhi High Court has given more time to conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar for filing submissions in the plea that challenged the trial court charges against him in case registered by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) for money laundering.
The Counsel during the hearing said that it needs more time to file the written submissions.
The counsel for ED told the court that their written submissions is filed in the plea today itself, and the same is yet to be placed on record.
Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma after taking a note of submissions granted more time to Sukesh for filling his written submissions in the plea. Accordingly, the court listed the matter for further consideration on July 31.
On March 2, the single-judge bench had asked both ED as well as the conman to file their brief written submissions not exceeding three pages.
Sukesh was represented by Advocate Anant Singh Malik appearing who had submitted that certain facts did not exist before the trial court at the time of the framing of charges.
He said he believes that the proceedings in the scheduled offence were stayed by the orders of the Supreme Court and subsequently for the other petitioners by the High Court.
Malik had contended that the entire order of charge had been framed on the “assumption” that a scheduled offence had been committed, whereas the “scheduled offence” had been eclipsed because of the stay order of the Apex Court operating.
It is to be noted that on February 16, Sukesh was arrested in a fresh ED case in connection with the alleged fraud committed against his wife, Japan Singh of former Religare promoter and Malvinder Singh. A Delhi Court sent him to nine-day ED custody, in the case. Subsequently, on February 24 it was extended by 3 days.
