Actor Jacqueline Fernandez on Thursday withdrew her petition before the Supreme Court challenging the criminal trial initiated against her in the Enforcement Directorate’s ₹200 crore money laundering case linked to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.

A Bench of Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Joymalya Bagchi permitted the withdrawal of the plea and disposed of the matter, granting liberty to the actor to avail such remedies as may be available to her in accordance with law.

The petitioner had approached the Supreme Court seeking to quash the proceedings arising out of the Enforcement Directorate’s prosecution complaint filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). She had challenged the continuation of the trial before the designated PMLA court.

During the hearing, counsel appearing for the actor sought permission to withdraw the petition. Accepting the request, the Bench disposed of the case while reserving liberty to Fernandez to pursue other remedies available under law.
