Persons summoned by ED bound to attend in person or through agent: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has ruled that individuals summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) must attend through agents if they cannot appear personally. This ruling clarifies procedural aspects related to compliance with ED summons and the use of agents for representation. The decision aims to ensure that individuals subject to investigation are still accountable and responsive to legal processes, even if they cannot be present in person. This reflects the Court’s emphasis on maintaining procedural integrity in financial investigations.
