The Enforcement Directorate’s special leave petition against Satinder Singh Bhasin was listed before the Supreme Court of India on May 27. The matter involves the federal agency’s challenge to a lower court ruling in a linked proceeding.
Special leave petitions allow the apex court to examine whether high courts applied the law correctly in cases of significant public or financial interest. ED matters frequently raise questions about investigative powers under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Bhasin’s case forms part of a broader docket of financial crime appeals heard during the court’s regular session. Parties submitted written submissions ahead of oral arguments.
The bench may issue notice, grant leave, or dismiss the petition depending on preliminary review. Outcomes can affect parallel trials and attachment orders.
Listing on May 27 placed the ED versus Bhasin dispute on the Supreme Court’s active calendar for the current term.
