The Delhi High Court on Wednesday postponed the hearing of Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez's petition, which seeks to quash the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) ECIR (FIR) and supplementary chargesheet in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case linked to conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The court has rescheduled the case for final arguments on September 18.

Fernandez's plea challenges the ED's complaint and the second supplementary chargesheet filed under Sections 3 and 4 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, in which she is named as an accused. The actress contends that she has not committed any offense under the Act and that she was not in possession of any "proceeds of crime."

In her petition, Fernandez points out that in the related case registered by the Delhi Police, she has been listed as a "prosecution witness," which she argues should work in her favor. She further emphasizes that the complaint by Aditi Singh, wife of former Ranbaxy owner Shivinder Singh, does not accuse her of actively aiding or abetting Chandrashekhar in the alleged offenses.

Sukesh Chandrashekhar, currently in Tihar Jail, is accused of extorting over Rs 200 crore from Aditi Singh between June 2020 and May 2021. Fernandez maintains that the evidence provided by the ED clearly establishes her as an "innocent victim" of Chandrashekhar's deceitful actions.

The High Court will now hear final arguments in the case on September 18.
