Pankaj, businessmen Asif Balwa, Vinod Goenka and others have challenged the non-bailable warrants issued by the special court for Prevention of Money Laundering Act cases. They have also sought pre-arrest bail from the HC. Last week, the vacation bench had granted them interim protection from arrest. ED counsel Poornima Kantharia yesterday submitted reply affidavits, following which the petitioners&rsquo; lawyers sought time to file rejoinders.
Justice Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi adjourned the hearing to June 7 and extended the protection till then. Aabad Ponda, lawyer of a petitioner, argued that ED had already recorded their statements and it did not arrest them then.
