Enforcement Directorate Can't Seek Custody U/S 167 CrPC: Former Chancellor Of Alliance University Moves Karnataka HC Against Special Court Order
Live LawFormer Chancellor of Alliance University, Madhukar G Angur, who has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in an alleged money laundering case, has approached the Karnataka High Court challenging the special court's order dated January 10, remanding him to ED custody till January 17. Thereafter, on 10th, the Special Court allowed an application u/s 167 CrPC preferred by ED and remanded him to departmental custody of the Enforcement Directorate till January 17. Hence, the application u/s 167 CrPC preferred by the ED as well as the impugned order passed by the Special Court is untenable in law. Further, it is said that the petitioner appeared on five occasions pursuant to summons and duly recorded his statement u/s 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 before the ED.
