ORAL ORDER
The petitioner is before the court seeking the following prayers: “a. In the nature of certiorari, quashing the impugned summons bearing No. PMLA/SUMMON/ BGZO/2026/4926/543 dated 19th June 2026, issued by respondent No.2, the Assistant Director, Directorate of Enforcement, Government of India, Bangalore, under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, calling upon the petitioner to appear on 6th July, 2026 at 10.30 A.M., produced herein as Annexure-A;
b. Grant such other or further relief/s as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit in the facts and circumstances of the case, in the interest of justice and equity.”
HC-KAR
2. The solitary grievance projected by the petitioner before the Court, at this juncture, is that, the Enforcement Directorate are repeatedly issuing summons without considering the documents that are already placed before it.
3. The learned counsel Ms.Anuparna appearing for the Enforcement Directorate would undertake that all the documents that are placed by the petitioner before the Enforcement Directorate will be considered, in accordance with law.
4. In the light of the said submission, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petition be disposed.
5. Therefore the petition stands disposed. Sd/- (M.NAGAPRASANNA) JUDGE
