The Supreme Court on January 23 will hear a plea filed by Rana Ayyub challenging the summons issued to her by the Ghaziabad court in Uttar Pradesh in relation to a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case registered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Rana Ayyub’s advocate Vrinda Grover today, mentioned her plea before a bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud by for an early listing.

The Petitioners advocate  said that the Ghaziabad court has issued a summons against Ayyub for January 27 and therefore the matter requires urgent listing.

The top court agreed to hear on January 23 a plea filed by journalist Rana Ayyub.

In October last year, the ED had filed a complaint against Rana Ayyub before the Ghaziabad court over alleged violations in publicly raising funds.

Enforcement Directorate had registered the case on the basis of a complaint registered in September 2021 in Ghaziabad under provisions of the Indian Penal Code, Information Technology Amendment Act and Black Money Act against Ayyub.

It was alleged in the FIR that Rana Ayyub illegally acquired funds from the general public in the name of charity by launching fundraiser campaigns.
