The Story in Brief
A Delhi court has granted interim protection from arrest to Raheja Developers Chairman Navin M Raheja and Managing Director Nayan N Raheja in a money laundering case. The court said non-bailable warrants affect accused persons’ rights and must not be issued mechanically. It directed both men to join and cooperate with the Enforcement Directorate whenever called. The matter will be heard again on September 3. The ED alleges they failed to attend four summons after appearing in 2025. The defence says they appeared four times, supplied documents and remain willing to cooperate. Separately, the Delhi High Court has sought the ED’s response to Nayan Raheja’s plea challenging the 2022 case.
The Indian Opinion
Some narratives will cast this either as a clean escape from accountability or as proof of official overreach. Neither follows from an interim order. The court has protected attendance, not cleared the allegations, while the defence and ED dispute compliance with summons. The useful test is practical: do both men appear when called, and can the agency prove the alleged diversion and Rs 1.23 crore proceeds claim?
