TheJharkhand High Court on Wednesdayexempted Chief Minister Hemant Soren from making a personal appearance before an MP-MLA court in a case related to the violation of Enforcement Directorate summons, India Today reported.
The central agency had filed a complaint case against the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha chief for refusing to appear before it after multiple summonses were issued to him in an alleged land scam, PTI reported.
The Enforcement Directorate alleged that ten summonses were issued to Soren, but he appeared only twice.
Subsequently, the MP-MLA court in Ranchi ordered his personal appearance at every hearing in the case concerning his refusal to comply with the summonses.
On Wednesday, Justice Anil Kumar Choudhary granted relief to Soren on a petition challenging the MP-MLA court’s directive seeking his personal appearance.
Choudhary disposed the petition and said that Soren could be represented by his counsel.
In December 2024, the High Court had passed an interim order exempting Soren from personally appearing in the case before the MP-MLA court.
However, the court vacated this interim order on November 25 and asked him to appear physically for the hearing.
