Shilpa Shetty, Husband Raj Kundra Challenge Eviction Notice In Court
Actor Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband Raj Kundra have moved the Bombay High Court challenging ED’s notice directing them to vacate their house in Mumbai’s Juhu area and a farmhouse in Pune in connection with a money-laundering case.
The pleas came up for hearing on Wednesday before a division bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Prithviraj Chavan.
The court issued notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and posted the matter for hearing on Thursday.
Their petitions challenge ED notices dated September 27 issued to Ms Shetty and Mr Kundra directing them to evict their residence in Mumbai and a farmhouse in Pune within ten days in connection with a money-laundering case linked to an alleged Bitcoin fraud.
The couple’s advocate Prashant Patil said that Ms Shetty and Mr Kundra received the eviction notices only on October 3. He termed the notices arbitrary and illegal and sought them to be quashed.
