The SC set aside the summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to two senior lawyers, Arvind Datar and Pratap Venugopal, and said they infringed the fundamental rights of the accused who hired them.

A bench comprising Chief Justice BR Gavai and Justices K Vinod Chandran and NV Anjaria delivered the verdict in a suo motu case taken up after the ED summoned Datar and Venugopal in connection to a money laundering probe.
