Mumbai Court Rejects Sanjay Jain Discharge Plea In Remittance Case
A court in Mumbai is handling a case about more than ₹1,000 crore in alleged illegal foreign remittances.
Sanjay Jain is one of the people accused in the case.
Investigators say forged import papers were used to send foreign exchange abroad.
Jain’s lawyer tried to submit an application asking the court to remove him from the case.
The court asked why the application was filed so late.
The lawyer said he did not have all the papers and could not properly explain the delay.
The court said the case had already been pending since 2017.
It refused to accept the application because it believed the filing could delay the case further.
The Special PMLA Court in Mumbai refused to accept Sanjay Jain’s discharge application.
Jain is accused in a case involving foreign remittances exceeding ₹1,000 crore.
The Enforcement Directorate’s 2017 case alleges that Jain submitted forged import documents.
The documents allegedly included bills of entry and invoices used to remit foreign exchange.
The court said the application came nearly nine years after the chargesheet and appeared to be a delay tactic.
