The Delhi High Court has disposed of a writ petition filed by a mother of a martyred naval officer, seeking directions to the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) to act on her pending representation in connection with an alleged housing fraud.
The petitioner, who had invested the gratuity and Navy insurance funds received after her son’s martyrdom into a residential project in Dwarka, claimed to be a victim of a large-scale fraud involving misrepresentation, double sale of flats, and diversion of funds by private parties. The alleged acts are already under investigation pursuant to an FIR registered under cheating, criminal breach of trust, and conspiracy provisions of the IPC, with the proceeds of crime allegedly falling within the ambit of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Before the Court, counsel for the ED submitted that the petitioner’s representation dated October 28, 2025, would be considered and decided in accordance with law within eight weeks. Recording this assurance, the Court disposed of the petition without granting further relief.
Appearances:
For the Petitioner: Mr. Mohd. Shaz Khan, Advocate.
For the Respondent: Mr. Rahul Tyagi, SC with Mr. Sangeet Sibou, Advocates.
