Bombay High Court orders lower court to re-hear ED's plea for further custody of Amit Chandole

India Today  

The Bombay High Court on Monday quashed and set aside the order of a sessions court which rejected the Enforcement Directorate's plea for extension of remand of Amit Chandole, an alleged associate of Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik, arrested in a money laundering case. Enforcement Directorate had approached the Bombay High Court saying they could hardly get any interrogation time with Chandole. On November 26, ED had arrested Amit Chandole as the agency believed that Chandole was acting as a front between Tops Group and Sarnaik and Tops Grup diverted funds to Sarnaik through Chandole. Also on the aspect of the lower court judge not granting further custody of Chandole to ED, the court has said, "It appears that the learned Judge has taken a very casual and perfunctory approach by ignoring that it is not a simple crime but is so enormous and complex which requires a thorough probe and investigation by the Investigating Agency in view of the provisions of PMLA Act."
