Gitanjali RP seeks to implead ED

MUMBAI: The resolution professional (RP) of Gitanjali Gems, a jewellery retailer promoted by absconding Mehul Choksi, is seeking to implead the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) in the insolvency resolution case since certain assets are still held by the investigation agencies.

On Tuesday, Ankita Singhania, an advocate, appearing for the RP, informed the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) that investigation agencies, including ED, CBI and SFIO, had attached properties of Gitanjali Gems and later the attachment was lifted on certain assets, but the RP is keen to implead the two government agencies to ascertain the details of assets owned by the company.
