SC restrains Centre from taking action against ED official Rajeshwar Singh

The Supreme Court has restrained the Centre from taking any immediate action against Enforcement Directorate official Rajeshwar Singh, following some complaints lodged against him. <br/><br/>Singh is probing the multi-crore rupees Aircel-Maxis case and the 2G spectrum scam. <br/><br/>The court's direction came after Singh alleged conspiracy over filing of frivolous anonymous complaints against him with the Revenue Secretary saying these were being entertained by the ED. <br/><br/>He said such complaints were filed after the recent attachment of property worth one crore Rs. 16 lakh of the accused in the Aircel-Maxis case. <br/><br/>The court issued notices to the CBI, ED and the Department of Telecom and sought their responses in three weeks. <br/><br/>The court ruled that no action should be taken against Mr Singh till the pendency of his plea.
