Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra will not be evicted from their homes; the High Court has issued a major verdict on the ED case.

News Topical, Digital Desk : Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra, known as B-town's power couple, are often in the news for one reason or another. From Raj Kundra's arrest to a money laundering case, Shilpa's personal life has been fraught with turmoil over the past few years. Recently, she received a significant reprieve from the High Court.

Recently, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued an eviction notice to Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra, requiring them to vacate their Juhu home within 10 days. The couple challenged the ED's order in the Bombay High Court, arguing it was arbitrary, illegal, and unfair. A hearing was held today, October 10th.

Shilpa-Raj get relief 

A division bench of Justice Revati Mohite Dere and Justice Prithviraj Chavan had on Wednesday asked the ED what was the hurry in issuing the eviction notice after the attachment order was passed, when the couple had the legal remedy to appeal against the order.

On Thursday, the ED told the court that the eviction notices would not be acted upon until the petitioner files his appeal against the attachment order and it is decided by the tribunal. The bench accepted the statement and said that in the event of an adverse order by the tribunal, the notices would not be effective for a period of two weeks.

What is the matter?

In 2018, the ED filed a complaint against Amit Bhardwaj and others on charges of bitcoin fraud and money laundering. Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra 's names also surfaced in the case. Although neither was proven guilty, they have been summoned for questioning several times in the case. In April of this year, the ED ordered the temporary seizure of the couple's properties worth ₹98 crore (approximately $1.8 billion), including their farmhouse in Pune and their home in Juhu, Mumbai. 

The couple claims they received a notice on October 3rd, which was issued on September 27th, requiring them to vacate their home. In their petition, they argued that an eviction notice cannot be issued without proven guilt. They also stated that their home has no connection to any scheduled offense or proceeds of crime, nor does their husband have any involvement in the money laundering case.
