Nationalist Congress Party leader Hasan Mushrif’s lawyer submitted a request to Enforcement Directorate seeking more time for his client to appear before the agency for questioning.
The NCP MLA was summoned today in the money-laundering case by ED as a part of its probe into alleged irregularities related to Kolhapur-based sugar co-operative with which his sons are allegedly associated.
Mushrif’s contention is that the Bombay High Court had stayed the proceedings in the scheduled – offence case last year itself. Mushrif on Monday approached the HC questioning ED’s actions, requesting for the quashing of the predicate FIR related to the scheduled offence and for a stay on any coercive action against him in the case.
