The troubles of famous Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandes are not showing any signs of slowing down in the high-profile money laundering case related to Sukesh Chandrashekhar, the mega-fraud of Rs 200 crore from Delhi’s Tihar Jail. Jacqueline Fernandes has not got any relief even from the country’s biggest court i.e. the Supreme Court. In view of the very strict and tough stance of the court, the actress was forced to withdraw her petition. Jacqueline, who came under the scanner of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), had approached the apex court challenging the case registered against her and the legal proceedings, but there too her arguments proved ineffective.
Jacqueline’s lawyer’s arguments proved ineffective in the face of tough questions from the Supreme Court.
During the hearing of the case, the Supreme Court bench raised serious questions on the arguments given by the lawyers of Jacqueline Fernandes. The court made it clear that at this stage it would not be right to interfere in the ongoing investigation and trial court proceedings under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Realizing the tough stance of the judges and the full possibility of the petition being rejected, Jacqueline’s legal team wisely decided to withdraw its petition. After this step, Jacqueline will now have to face the regular trial going on in Delhi’s Patiala House Court.
Complete web of expensive gifts and ED chargesheet received from Sukesh Chandrashekhar
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has made Jacqueline Fernandes a direct accused in this Rs 200 crore money laundering case. According to the ED charge sheet, Jacqueline was well aware that Sukesh Chandrashekhar was a vicious criminal and swindler, yet she accepted expensive gifts worth crores of rupees, luxury cars, diamond jewelery and foreign funds from him. ED claims that all these gifts were purchased with the proceeds of crime. On this basis, Jacqueline’s properties worth several crores of rupees have already been frozen.
From the courts of Delhi to the corridors of Mumbai, the stir increased after this decision.
In terms of geographical and legal domain, the main center of this case is the country’s capital New Delhi. Both the Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police and ED are investigating the case parallelly. After this big decision of the Supreme Court, silence and commotion are once again being seen in the Patiala House Court of Delhi and the Bollywood corridors of Mumbai. Legal experts believe that not getting relief from the Supreme Court is a major setback for Jacqueline, and now she will have to follow strict court rules, from traveling abroad to her regular appearances.
