Ex-CM Amarinder Singh, Son Face Scrutiny as Punjab High Court Permits ED Access to Tax Papers amid Fraud Case

The Punjab and Haryana High Court permitted the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to inspect documents submitted by the Income Tax (IT) Department in a disproportionate assets case against former Punjab Chief Minister and BJP leader Captain Amarinder Singh and his son Raninder Singh.

Justice Tribhuvan Dahiya dismissed their pleas challenging a Ludhiana court’s order granting ED access.

The IT Department had filed criminal complaints in 2016, alleging undisclosed foreign assets, bank accounts in Geneva, false statements, and tax evasion.

The ED had sought an inspection to pursue its investigation, while proceedings against Amarinder and his son remain ongoing.
