SC to Examine ED's Juristic Person Status

The Supreme Court is going to look into whether the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is like a legal entity, can file special requests (writ petitions) in High Courts.

This comes after the Kerala High Court said yes to the ED's request to stop a state inquiry into the ED's actions in a gold smuggling case.

The Kerala government set up this inquiry because some people said ED officials made them say bad things about political leaders.

The ED said the state shouldn't be able to investigate them, and the High Court agreed.

Now, the Supreme Court will decide if the ED has the right to make such requests.
