NEW DELHI;The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) challenging the Delhi High Court order granting bail to Karnataka Congress leader DK Shivakumar in money-laundering case.
Taking up the petition on Friday, the Supreme Court bench, comprising Justices RF Nariman and S Ravindra Bhat, also pulled up the ED for copy-pasting arguments from Chidambaram’s case without editing.
The SC also issued a notice in the petition filed by Shivakumar seeking quashing of charges against him by the Income Tax department.
The Delhi High Court had on October 23 granted bail to Shivakumar.
The ED had moved the Supreme Court challenging the Delhi High Court decision granting bail to DK Shivakumar saying the Congress leader could tamper with the evidence in the case.
