The Supreme Court has declined Jacqueline Fernandez's appeal for relief in a high-profile money laundering case involving allegedly duplicitous activities by conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. The accused actor, who contested an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), received no court intervention as her petition was dismissed.
Fernandez, represented by senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, was advised to withdraw her petition and reapply at an appropriate juncture. Earlier, the Delhi High Court had rejected her plea to quash the ECIR, stemming from Chandrasekhar's alleged illegal activities, including impersonating government officials.
Chandrasekhar, already imprisoned, is accused of extorting Rs 200 crore from former Ranbaxy promoters' spouses. As part of the case, Fernandez is said to have accepted gifts valued at over Rs 5.71 crore. The ongoing legal proceedings, including the ED's supplementary chargesheet, remain a significant subject of judicial scrutiny.
