The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday urged the Bombay High Court to dismiss the habeas corpus (law writ issued to bring a party before a court or judge) petition filed by Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik challenging his arrest by the anti-money laundering agency, saying his arrest was as per law.
In the affidavit filed before a bench led by Justice PB Varale, the ED denied Mr. Malik’s allegations that he was arrested illegally and that his arrest was “politically motivated”.
