The ED is investigating Khan in a money laundering case filed on allegations of irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board recruitment and purchase of properties while he was the chairman of the Board.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had arrested Dubai-based businessman Jawed Imam Siddiqui last year in the case in which AAP leader Amanatullah Khan is one of the accused.
The money laundering case against Khan relates to the alleged irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board recruitment and purchase of properties while he was the chairman of the Board.
The Court passed the order after noting that the history sheet earlier opened against Amanatullah Khan by the Delhi Police contained details of his school-going children.
The allegations against Khan concern his time as the Chairman of the Waqf Board. He has been accused of illegally recruiting people in violation of the law.
The Court observed that further investigation in the case could take a long time to conclude and that no purpose would be served by keeping the accused behind bars.
Khan approached the High Court arguing that the history sheet against him was issued in violation of the Punjab Police Rules and details of it were leaked to the media.
