In a major relief to the former Haryana Congress MLA Surendra Panwar, the Supreme Court has upheld the decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, in which Panwar's arrest in a money laundering case was declared illegal.
Rejecting the special leave petition (SLP) filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the court clarified that the High Court's decision was based only on the legality of the arrest and it would not affect the merits of the case.
Panwar was arrested by the ED on July 20 last year on charges of illegal mining and money laundering. He alleged that after the arrest, he was kept for continuous interrogation for 15 hours.
However, the High Court rejected his arrest on 23 September 2024 and Panwar was released on September 25, ahead of voting of Haryana Assembly Elections which he contested on Congress ticket from Sonipat assembly constituency.
