Overview

  • The Chief Judicial Magistrate first issued a non-bailable warrant on March 12 after rejecting Farooq Abdullah’s exemption plea when he did not appear despite being offered a virtual option.
  • The warrant was recalled hours later following an application citing medical advice against travel after an assassination attempt on Abdullah in Jammu the previous night.
  • The court earlier refused the Enforcement Directorate’s move to add money-laundering–related charges, holding the agency lacked locus standi and a demonstrated predicate offence.
  • Proceedings are now listed for March 30 for recording statements and consideration of framing charges, with the court cautioning that non-appearance could invite further orders.
  • The CBI’s 2018 chargesheet alleges multi-crore diversion of BCCI grants between 2001 and 2011 when Abdullah led the JKCA, accusations he has denied.
