Jacquline moved an application in Patiala Housei court mentioning that she has been invited to attend the event in Dubai as a star performer for a concert scheduled on Sunday, January 29.
Fernandez is one of the accused in a Rs 200 Crore money laundering case also involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. She was granted regular bail in the case on November 15, 2022. Fernandez was not arrested in the case.
Additional Sessions Judge Shailendra Malick who had earlier posted the matter for Friday after the ED sought time to file a detailed reply to her application, gave the final court order on Friday.
