SC allows ED to rely on forensic auditors' report for charge sheet against Unitech ex-promoters

The top court allowed Sanjay and Ajay Chandra, currently lodged in Mumbai jails, to have video conference meetings.

The Supreme Court Thursday granted permission to Enforcement Directorate to rely on the report of court-appointed forensic auditors in its charge sheet to be field against Unitech's former promoters Sanjay Chandra, Ajay Chandra and others.

A bench of Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and M.R. Shah gave permission to the ED to rely on the Grant Thornton report with the probe agency saying it will make the case stronger against the Chandras.

Additional Solicitor General Madhavi Divan, appearing for the ED, submitted that the agency is going to file the charge sheet next week in the money laundering case lodged the Chandras.
