Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez has sought quashing of ECIR of 08.08.2021 and
the 2nd Supplementary Complaint (Charge sheet) of 17.08.2022 filed by the ED and proceedings emanating therefrom.
Earlier, Senior advocate Siddharth Aggarwal had raised three legal issues which, according to him, can only be decided by the Constitutional Court and not by the Trial Court, albeit it is an admitted position that the matter is pending before the Trial Court for arguments on charge.
Siddharth Aggarwal, on instructions, had submitted that he is not seeking any interim relief as he does not want to stall proceedings before the Trial Court. Liberty sought to file additional documents, which according to him are crucial for adjudication of the legal issues raised.
The High Court had allowed the filing of additional documents subject to their relevancy and admissibility, being tested at the time of hearing of the petition.
