Delhi HC grants time to Vivo officials to respond to ED plea against release in money laundering case

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday granted three vivo-India executives one week to file their reply to a plea by the Enforcement Directorate challenging an order for their release in a money laundering case.

While Additional Solicitor General S V Raju argued that the trial court order was “totally perverse” and the matter required urgent adjudication, the counsel for the accused sought time to file their response.

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma listed the matter for further hearing on January 11 and said, “They will need to file a reply. I can’t deny them”.
