New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Thursday castigated the Enforcement Directorate for non-availability of its counsel to argue on bail the plea of Karnataka Congress leader D K Shivakumar, arrested in a money laundering case, and said that the agency cannot play “hide and seek” with the court.

Justice Suresh Kait blasted the ED’s counsel who appeared in the matter and sought accommodation for 30 minutes on the ground that the law officer who would argue the case was busy in Rouse Avenue district court.

“You cannot play hide and seek with the court,” Justice Kait said, adding, “This is not acceptable. Court is not supposed to wait.”

The high court reserved its order on Shivakumar’s plea seeking bail and asked the ED’s counsel to file their written submissions by 12 noon of October 19.

  1. I would like to salute the entire LAWFUL wisdom of K. PARASARAN And his stubirn diginity in the history of judiciary in INDIA.
    May his insights lead Indian Judiciary fir a truthful India.

  2. Using political power & position, DKS has looted Kanakapura’s natural resources to make him rich. In the process several govt. Officials like, Tahsildars, AC’s, Forest dept.officials helped him, in return they got corruption money. Today, Ramanagar, & Kanakapura’s natural wealth granite had been fully excavated by these two brothers. They have encroached several ignorant owners lands by muscle power and police help. . But, GOD’s will, nobody can enjoy I’ll wealth and it has to return to nature. I think these two brother should stay permanently in prison for their karma. Attach all properties of their whole family to govt.
