Supreme Court to examine if ED can proceed in PMLA case sans predicate offence

On Friday, the Supreme Court was shocked to see Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) commander, Yasin Malik, ready to appear before it as it noted that there was no such order passed by the top court asking him to appear in person. The Central government also expressed concern over the physical appearance of Yasin Malik, in the Supreme Court. Yasin Malik was to be presented before the top court for a hearing on a CBI plea against the Jammu court order. He is serving a life sentence in Tihar Jail after being convicted in a terror funding case. Appearing for Centre, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, apprised the court that there was no order passed by the top court that Yasin Malik has to be presented before the Supreme Court physically in the matter. The 11-year-old daughter of Yasin Malik, Razia Sultan termed her father innocent. She has issued an appeal to PM Modi to let her visit her father in jail. #YasinMalik #YasinMalikDaughter #RaziaSultan #SupremeCourt ~HT.99~PR.151~ED.101~
