No immediate relief for Punjab minister Arora from HC in ED arrest case

Chandigarh, May 15 (UNI): The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday did not grant immediate relief to Punjab minister Sanjeev Arora in connection with his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), after hearing arguments in his petition for nearly 45 minutes.
During the hearing, Arora's counsel challenged the legality of the arrest procedure under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), arguing that the officer who lodged the complaint and the officer who carried out the arrest were allegedly the same person, which the defence claimed was contrary to provisions under Section 19 of the PMLA.
The counsel further submitted before the court that the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) was registered on May 5 and raids were conducted on May 9, but no supporting material was provided to the accused under Section 50 of the Act. The defence requested the court to summon the records in a sealed cover to verify whether any actual investigation had been conducted before registration of the FIR.
