The Bombay High Court on Thursday directed the Enforcement Directorate to provide documents to sacked IPL chief Lalit Modi based on which the central agency had issued him show cause notices in July 2011 and March 2013 for alleged foreign exchange violations in the IPL tournament held in South Africa in 2009. A division bench of Justices S J Vazifdar and B P Colabawalla was hearing a petition filed by Modi seeking a direction to ED to provide him the documents which are mentioned in the show cause notice. Additional solicitor general Kevic Setalvad sought stay on the order saying that it amounted to setting aside of the show cause notice itself. Agreeing to this, the court stayed its order for four weeks allowing ED to approach the apex court. The court, however, clarified that the directorate is not restrained from proceeding with the notices in accordance with this order. This means that the agency can proceed with the notice after providing necessary documents to Modi.
