The Delhi High Court on Monday deferred its hearing for a day on a plea filed by Abhishek Bannerjee, All India Trinamool Congress MP and nephew of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, along with his wife Rujira Banerjee, seeking to quash summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a case of alleged money laundering in the West Bengal Coal Scam.
This development comes two days after the Bengal court issued summons to Amit Shah to appear either personally or through a lawyer before it on February 22
In a press note, Abhishek Banerjee's lawyer Sanjay Basu claimed that Shah had made defamatory remarks against the Trinamool MP on August 11, 2018 at a rally of the BJP at Mayo Road in Kolkata.
