The Chhattisgarh High Court today upheld the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) provisional attachment of ₹110 crore against Goa’s Westin Hotel. The attachment was originally imposed by the ED in an alleged case involving the hotel.
The court’s order confirms that the ED’s action is lawful and that the attachment remains in force pending further proceedings. The decision was made in a hearing that examined the merits of the ED’s request and the legal basis for the attachment.
