Telangana High Court also made a descision regarding the invesgation of the case , the court transferred the case to Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO).

Ignoring Court Order ED Continues Interference
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.

On February 4, 2020, the Adjudge under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) confirmed the attachment order. This confirmation was made without considering the Telangana High Court’s orders, as the ED did not reveal the court’s order. This disobedience by the ED was seen as a direct contempt of court, showcasing a intentional non-compliance with judicial instructions.
Land Disputes Involving Dr.Nowhera Shaik And Concern of Supreme Court
The Supreme court addressed the issue of land dispute on March 28, 2023 , involving Dr.Nowhera Shaik. The court noted that potential buyers were willing to invest in the disputed land despite knowing the ongoing disputes. The court noted that if these buyers deposited around Rs. 641 crores, it would lift the ED’s attachment on the land, allowing the parties to settle their claims independently.
ED reportedy obstructed this process by illegal enroachments on the property. It occurred despite the property being intended to repay investors as per the Supreme Court’s order. The petitioner argues that the ED’s failure to prevent these encroachments has not only violated legal norms but also worsened the situation, delaying the resolution of the case.
