Today, the court directed to release of AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in connection with a money laundering case involving alleged irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board. The court, however, declined to take cognizance of the chargesheet filed against him.

Special Judge Jitendra Singh stated that while there is number evidence to proceed with the case against Khan, there is no sanction in place to initiate his prosecution.

"Therefore, the cognisance is declined," the judge said.

The court ordered Khan's immediate release from judicial custody on a bail bond of ₹1 lakh, along with one surety of the same amount.

Last month, the ED filed a 110-page supplementary prosecution complaint (the ED's version of a chargesheet), alleging that Khan laundered money generated through corruption in the Delhi Waqf Board.

The chargesheet also named Mariam Siddiqui, who was not arrested by the Enforcement Directorate as an accused in the case.

The court, however, stated that there was no evidence to proceed against Siddiqui and consequently discharged her.
