Mumbai: Businessman Raj Kundra has moved Bombay high court to quash and set aside a PMLA court’s January 5 order that took cognisance of Enforcement Directorate’s supplementary prosecution complaint in a cryptocurrency money laundering case and issued summons to him.On Tuesday, before Justice Ashwin Bhobe, Kundra’s advocate argued that neither was a notice issued to his client nor was he heard before cognisance was taken. The judge adjourned the hearing to August 6 after ED’s advocate sought time to take instructions.In 2019, the ED had filed a prosecution complaint against Gainbit.com promoter Amit Bhardwaj, directors of Variable Tech Pvt Ltd and others. In February 2024, the special court took cognisance of it. However, Kundra was named as an accused in ED’s September 2025 supplementary complaint. The ED alleged that Kundra received 285 Bitcoins worth over Rs 150 crore from Bhardwaj between July and August 2017, but neither disclosed details of the Bitcoin wallet nor handed it over during investigation.
