The DRI filed a prosecution complaint last year against Munjal, as well as a third-party service provider company called SEMPL and certain individuals identified as Amit Bali, Hemant Dahiya, K R Raman and some others alleging that they were involved in an “attempt to export and illicit export of prohibited items, that is, foreign currency.”
They were booked under Sections 135(1)(a), 135(1)(b) and 135(1)(c) read with 135(1)(i)(A) of the Customs Act, 1962.
Based on the DRI’s case, the Enforcement Directorate also booked Munjal and others under various provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
These ED proceedings have now been stayed by the High Court in so far as they relate to Munjal.
