New Delhi, Mar 20 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Thursday expressed its inclination to transfer the money laundering case linked to the 2020 Kerala gold smuggling scandal from Kerala to Karnataka.
A bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and Rajesh Bindal was hearing the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) transfer petition, filed in 2022, seeking to shift the trial from the Special PMLA Court in Ernakulam to a Special PMLA Court in Karnataka.
Justice Sundresh remarked that the allegations were serious and questioned why the ED had not yet pushed for the transfer. The Court also noted that the plea for transfer should not be opposed.
