Special Judge P R Bhavke of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court is likely to start hearing ED's arguments from tomorrow.
In its application filed through advocate Hiten Venegoankar, the ED sought the NBW against Naik saying that the preacher has not joined the investigation so far. The central probe agency also said although Naik was served summons repeatedly, he has failed to appear before it.

It said Naik needed to be question him in connection with money laundering.
In February this year, the ED had arrested Naik's close aide Aamir Gazdar. The ED registered a criminal case against Naik and others last December after taking cognisance of an NIA complaint under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
The ED is looking into the charges of alleged illegal funds laundered by the accused in the case and the subsequent proceeds of crime thus generated.
