The Delhi High Court asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) Friday not to take any coercive steps against TDP MP Y S Chowdary pursuant to the summons issued to him to appear before it in connection with a money laundering case.
Granting the interim protection to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader, Justice Najmi Waziri asked him to appear before the ED on December 3 and listed his plea challenging the November 27 summons to December 18 for further hearing.
The court also sought the response of the Ministry of Finance and the ED on Chowdary's plea seeking quashing of the summons issued to him on the ground that it was "bad in law" as he was not named in the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), the FIR or the chargesheet.
Centre's standing counsel Anil Soni opposed Chowdary's plea
