The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) opposed the plea of ​​the wife of former Interior Minister Anil Deshmukh, Aarti, challenging the provisional seizure of assets in an alleged money laundering case.

The affidavit further states that the Act provides statutory mechanisms for bringing the matter before the adjudicating authority.

In addition, the adjudicating authority closed the hearing and closed the case for order, ED said.

The HC, on December 10, had authorized the contracting authority to hear and pronounce final orders on the provisional seizure of the property of Deshmukh and his wife Aarti, but had prevented it from taking any coercive measures until January 10 2022.
