The Delhi High Court on Monday refused to quash an Enforcement Directorate money laundering case against media baron Raghav Bahl, saying the plea was “premature”.

The court also rejected Bahl’s challenge to the Look Out Circular (LOC) against him, observing the issue of generation of “proceeds of crime” was being investigated.

The court, however, said the petitioner’s liberty to travel abroad in genuine circumstances cannot be curtailed and clarified his plea seeking permission to undertake such travel will be decided by the courts concerned whenever filed.

The ED case against the petitioner arises from a complaint by the Income Tax (IT) Department and concerns the alleged laundering of funds to purchase an alleged undisclosed asset in London.
