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 protection will remain until the next hearing on September 3.
The Enforcement Directorate sought open-ended non-bailable warrants, alleging the father-son duo failed to attend some summons linked to a 2022 ECIR. The defence said they appeared before the agency four times in 2025 and supplied documents. The court said warrants affect accused persons’ rights and should not be issued mechanically. It directed both men to join and cooperate with the investigation whenever called. The court also said the ED could consider video-conference appearances for Navin Raheja, citing his advanced age.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that the order clears the Rahejas of wrongdoing would be premature, just as portraying interim protection as proof of evasion would be unfair. The court has not ended the money-laundering investigation or decided whether warrants are justified. The practical test is whether both men attend every future summons and provide the requested records before the September 3 hearing.
