CBI asked to give ED documents in DA case against Chautala

NEW DELHI: CBI has been directed by a Delhi court to provide Enforcement Directorate (ED) its documents relating to a disproportionate assets case against former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala to help the latter's probe into a money-laundering case against him.

Special CBI Judge Rajiv Mehra's order came on a plea by ED seeking CBI documents for probing a case against Chautala registered under the provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

"The application is allowed, permitting the Directorate of Enforcement to obtain the certified copies as per the process of law," said the court.

ED had sought CBI documents relating to the excess assets case against Chautala in a plea filed on September 13 through its Special Public Prosecutor Naveen Kumar Matta.
