Order Reserved on ED's Plea on Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik 'Aide' Remand in PMLA Case
News 18The Bombay High Court on Friday reserved its order on an Enforcement Directorate plea challenging a November 29 order of a special holiday sessions judge rejecting its demand for extension of remand of Amit Chandole. Chandole is an alleged aide of Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik, who is an accused in a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. A single bench presided over by Justice Prithviraj Chavan reserved the order following extensive arguments by ED counsel Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh and Chandole’s counsel Rizwan Merchant. Merchant, however, said the sessions court followed due procedure in rejecting ED’s request for further custody as the agency failed to place on record documentary evidence and grounds to show Chandole’s involvement in the case. ASG Singh, however, argued Chandole was an accused in a PMLA case, a serious offence that constitutes an “organised attempt to disturb the country’s economy”, and urged the court to grant custody for at least five or six days.
