Singh argued that Khadse s plea was premature and said naming someone in the ECIR does not imply that he or she is an accused in the case.
The Bombay High Court on Monday sought to know from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) if there was need to arrest a person summoned for questioning in a case if he or she was ready to cooperate. A division bench of Justices S S Shinde and Manish Pitale also asked if the person faced the threat of arrest if he or she appears for questioning but then does not answer certain questions.
