The Supreme Court asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to file a counter-affidavit on a plea by BRS MLC K. Kavitha in the Delhi liquor scam case.
The court was hearing pleas concerning the summonses issued by the ED to various political leaders asking them to come to Delhi for interrogation.
Kavitha had filed a petition in the SC raising the question of whether a woman could be summoned by the ED for questioning to another city at short notice. The pleas included petitions by K. Kavitha and Nalini Chidambaram, which raised the question of whether a woman can be summoned by the ED for questioning to another city on short notice.
The court gave six weeks to the ED to file its counter-affidavit, and two weeks thereafter was given to the petitioners for their rejoinders.
