A Delhi court has granted permission to Hemant Patil, an accused in a money laundering case related to an alleged Rs 60,000 crore ponzi scam, to travel abroad to explore higher secondary educational institutions in Switzerland for his daughter. The court allowed Patil to travel from October 14 to 22.
Notably, Patil had not been arrested during the investigation, and the supplementary complaint was filed against him without his arrest. The court considered that there was no evidence of the accused attempting to abscond during the investigation or avoiding court appearances.
The Enforcement Directorate had opposed the application, expressing concerns about the seriousness of the economic offenses involved and the possibility that the accused might not be available to stand trial if allowed to travel abroad.
The Pearls Group case involves alleged violations of SEBI Act provisions and regulations in a ponzi scheme that reportedly illegally mobilized around Rs 60,000 crore.
