New Delhi: Patiala House court has allowed actress Jacqueline Fernandez to travel to Dubai to attend an event. Fernandez, an accused in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case also involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, sought the court’s permission to travel to Dubai from January 27 to 30. She moved the application on Wednesday seeking permission to travel to Dubai to attend the PepsiCo India conference.
Additional Sessions Judge Shailender Malik, who was scheduled to hear arguments on the actor’s application on Wednesday, posted the matter for January 27 after the agency sought time to file a detailed reply to her application, according to PTI.
Fernandez had earlier withdrawn her plea for permission to go abroad to meet her family members after the judge suggested that “let the question of charge first be decided”.
She was granted regular bail in the case on November 15, 2022. Fernandez was not arrested in the case.
The judge had on August 31 taken cognisance of a supplementary charge sheet filed by the ED and had asked Fernandez to appear before the court.
Fernandez, who was summoned by the ED several times in connection with the investigation, has been named as an accused for the first time in the supplementary charge sheet.
The ED’s earlier charge sheet and supplementary charge sheet did not mention her as an accused.
