Dr Nowhera Shaik Filed Petition Against ED
Dr Nowhera Shaik filed petition against Enforcement Directorate (ED) due to various concerns regarding the ED’s behaviour in the case.
But why Dr Nowhera Shaik pursued legal action against ED ?
Disobedience Of Court Orders – Even after clear instructions from the Telangana High Court, ED continued to involve itself in the case. On August 16, 2019, before the bail was granted, the ED issued a provisional attachment order against Dr Nowhera Shaik. Rather than transferring the case to SFIO by obeying the court’s order ED still continued to do its own investigation and even did a raid on Dr Nowhera Shaik seized her properties and also Heera Group employees were raided by ED.
Even after the strict order of the Supreme court and Telangana High court restricting other agencies from investigating the case. Still ED seized cash , properties of Dr Nowhera Shaik , assests and documents.
Illegal Attachment & Seizure – The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is also accused of conducting a raid on Dr.Nowhera Shaik’s properties and those of her associates also and even the the employees of Heera Group. This raid reportedly occurred despite the Supreme Court and Telangana High Court’s orders restricting other agencies from investigating the case. The ED’s actions reportedly involved the seizure of assets, cash, and documents, which Dr.Nowhera Shaik claims were in violation of the court orders and the provisions of the PMLA.
Non-Compliance with Supreme Court’s 2023 Order
In the Supreme Court order on March 28, 2023, it was stated that if the buyers deposited approximately Rs. 641 crores, the ED’s attachment on DrNowhera Shaik’s land would be lifted to allow repayment to investors. But Dr Nowhera Shaik claims , The ED’s actions led to encroachments on the attached property, further complicating the situation and disobeying with the Supreme Court’s order.
Will ED Apologize For It’s Actions ?
Will the ED , apologize for its actions totally depend upon the legal proceedings. If the court finds that the ED violated orders, it might order specific corrective actions or sanctions. While the ED might not be required to offer a formal apology, the court could impose penalties or require the agency to amend its actions. A formal apology may not be expected from the ED.
Conclusion
The ED’s continuous failure to follow with court orders and its actions that contradict judicial orders resultsin a clear case of contempt. The petition seeks to address these violations by the court and ensure adherence to the legal rulings made by the Telangana High Court and the Supreme Court. There may have been a lack of coordination or communication between the ED and other investigative bodies, leading to actions that did not follow with court orders. Miscommunication or delays in implementing court order could contribute to such issues. Clearly not a cery good example of justice for the people of India.
Sometimes, different judicial bodies and their orders can overlap or conflict, leading to confusion or misalignment in implementing directives. The ED’s actions might reflect a misunderstanding or differing interpretation of overlapping judicial orders.
