Hemant Soren, the chief minister of Jharkhand, had his appeal against the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoning him in a money laundering case postponed by the Supreme Court on Friday until September 18.
The attorney for Soren requested that the case be postponed till Monday before a panel of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Bela M Trivedi.
Hemant Soren submitted a plea in the Supreme Court contesting the summons given to him, claiming that the matter was an obvious “abuse of the law” by the Central administration and “misuse of the central agencies” to topple the democratically elected administration that he leads.
ED had asked Soren to join its investigation in the alleged money laundering case on August 24. However, he did not appear before ED on that day.
Soren was earlier summoned by the ED in mid-August in connection with an alleged land scam case. However, Soren did not join the central agency probe stating that he was busy with the preparation for the Independence Day celebration in the state. He was again asked to appear on August 24 and September 9 but he did not appear before the probe agency.
