NEW DELHI: Delhi high court on Friday gave the green signal to the Enforcement Directorate to proceed against former external affairs minister Natwar Singh and his son Jagat Singh for alleged foreign exchange violations in the Iraqi oil-for-food scam, holding that the procedure followed by the ED was right. "The procedure followed by the adjudicating authority (ED) did not suffer any infirmity to call for our interference," a bench comprising Justice T S Thakur and Justice Kailash Gambhir said while dismissing the father-son duo's petitions. Vacating the stay imposed by it against ED's proceedings against Natwar and his son, the court directed them to appear before the ED on April 24 to defend themselves in alleged FEMA violation cases. The Court passed the judgment on petitions filed by them challenging ED's proceeding against them as copies of all the documents related to the scam were not provided to them.
