New Delhi, Sep 22 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Monday refused to interfere with a Delhi High Court order dismissing actor Jacqueline Fernandez's plea to quash ECIR (equivalent to FIR) in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.

"We will not interfere at this stage," a bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Augustine George Masih told senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, who represented Fernandez.

The plea filed through advocate Sumeer Sodhi, Fernandez has challenged the high court's July 3 order which dismissed her petition seeking quashing of the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in the money laundering case.

Fernandez is an accused in the money laundering case lodged against Chandrasekhar and had appeared before the Enforcement Directorate for questioning in the investigation.

Quashing of ECIR: refusal to interfere leaves challenge to money laundering investigation for further adjudication. Refusal to interfere was recorded in a challenge to the validity of an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in a money laundering investigation; the petitioner sought quashing of the ECIR, the higher court dismissed that petition, and intervention was declined at this stage. The ECIR arises from an investigation into alleged duping by an accused intermediary, and the petitioner has been implicated and questioned by the Enforcement Directorate.
