Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who is advocating on behalf of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi in the National Herald case, said on Friday (July 04, 2025) that this is actually a strange case. & Nbsp; This is an alleged case of money laundering, in which no money or property has been diverted. No use or change of property has been made. AJL has property in the whole country, AJL has property for decades, not a single property has been changed and not even an inch. & Nbsp;
Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that AJL had to be made debt -free, which is the reason for taking loans to someone else, as it is in a normal corporate companies, so that the debt is freed. It is a non -profit company, they cannot share dividends etc. Former Congress president, current Congress president and other leaders are part of the company, because there is no justification of National Herald without Congress. This is a legacy.
50 years ago, the law was given
Singhvi further said, ‘Young India has 100% shares of AJL. If you look at the Supreme Court’s decision of Vodafone case since 1954, Young India has no assets of AJL. When ownership remains near Ajl, how did this money laundering happen. ‘& Nbsp;
Singhvi, citing a decision, said that the recognition given by the law 50 years ago is now being considered as money laundering. This is a case in which money laundering is done even when the company is closed and according to the current law, if the company is closed then its property will remain with the company under section 8, not its shareholders. & Nbsp;
‘No to FIR nor investigation’
Advocate Singhi further said that this is an action that does not exist, which the court has to take cognizance. The charge sheet of the ED cannot be taken cognizance, because there is neither an FIR nor a complaint from the person responsible for investigation. To start prosecution, the document should come from someone who has the right. & Nbsp;
ED also about this thing
Singhvi further advocated, ‘Actually the ED did nothing from 2010 to 2021, but then suddenly woke up. Even today he did nothing, but brought up a personal complaint. Emotional things often go beyond law in political matters. & Nbsp;
Thousands of complaints are lodged every day. Oral complaint can also be filed under BNSS. Suddenly one day the ED chose this complaint, filed a charge sheet and asked the court to take cognizance."Text-Align: justify;"> Why money laundering with non-profit company?
He said that the ED is not selectively to complain. This has never happened before and the prosecution complaint is silent about this. Everything is done for a long time to revive a company. He transferred a loan to get share holding. Why no one will make money laundering with a non-profit company. & Nbsp;
Singhvi said that if AJL’s debt was taken by Tata or Birla, then who is a company that would like to take a non-profit company. If this is a foolish task, how will money laundering be done without any property. & Nbsp; Director of non-profit company cannot touch money. Let us know that & nbsp; Tomorrow also the hearing will continue in the Rousse Avnue Court."https://www.abplive.com/news/world/ahmedabad-air-india-eindia-sia- crash- krash- krash- law-firm-firm-raise- serious-Qulesions-focuse-focused–AFTER-NEVESEDESTER-NEVESTISITENS-Repestigation- 2971111111111"> Air India plane crash: There was a big lapse before takeoff!
