शिल्पा शेट्टी और राज कुंद्रा को हाई कोर्ट से राहत: फैसला आने तक ED के बेदखली नोटिस पर लगाई रोक, मनी लॉन्ड्रिंग से जुड़ा है मामला

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra have got a big relief from the Bombay High Court. The court has stayed the eviction notice issued by the ED. The court says that no action will be taken in the matter until the Appellate Tribunal hears his petition challenging the property attachment order.

In fact, on September 27, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had issued a notice to Shilpa Shetty and Kundra to vacate their house in Juhu, Mumbai and a farm house in Pune within 10 days. The couple had filed a petition against this in the Bombay High Court. There was also a demand for its cancellation, calling it illegal and arbitrary.

At the same time, the bench of Justice Revati Mohite Dere and Justice PK Chavan, while giving its verdict in this case on Thursday, allowed Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra to apply for stay. The court said that no action would be taken on the eviction notice until the Appellate Tribunal decides on their appeal. The court also said, if the Appellate Tribunal gives a decision against them, then two weeks’ time will be given to implement it.
