A Delhi Court on Monday stayed the trial court proceedings and bail hearing in connection with Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain and others in a money laundering case.

The District Judge on Monday also issued notice to all accused including Satyendar Jain on a plea moved by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seeking the transfer of the case to another judge.

The Court has fixed the matter for September 30, 2022, for a detailed hearing.

The ED had moved an application before the Principal District and Sessions Judge of Rouse Avenue Court urging the transfer of Satyendar Jain's money laundering case proceedings to another Judge.

The ED petition sought the transfer of the matter from Special Judge Geetanjali Goel after raising certain contentions related to the bail arguments being examined by the court.

Special judge Geetanjali Goel, in the past few hearings, had pulled up the agency over its probe in the money laundering case.

The Court was presently hearing the lengthy arguments on the bail petitions of Satyendar Jain and the other two co-accused Ankush Jain and Vaibhav Jain in the matter. The bail hearing of the accused was at the final stage.

All three persons are currently in Judicial Custody.

The ED had arrested Satyendar Jain and two others in a money laundering case based on a CBI FIR lodged against the AAP leader in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act under which he was accused of having laundered money through four companies allegedly linked to him.
