The Delhi High Court on Monday refused to quash the money laundering case against Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, his wife Pratibha Singh and son Vikramaditya Singh and another person Chunni Lal.

“The petitions are devoid of substance; consequentially the same are dismissed,” Justice R.K. Gauba said, dismissing their petitions.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had summoned Mr. Singh (83), his wife and son for questioning.

In September 2015, the ED lodged the case against the Chief Minister and others under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after taking cognisance of a criminal complaint filed by the CBI.
