The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday appealed to a special court here to take cognisance of its chargesheet and issue non-bailable warrants against diamantaire Nirav Modi and his family members in the PNB fraud case.
The agency had last month filed a 12,000-page chargesheet in the court against Nirav and 23 others, including his father Deepak Modi, sister Purvi Mehta, brother-in-law Maiank Mehta, brother Neeshal Modi and another relative Nehal Modi.
The ED has charged the accused under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for the over Rs 13,000-crore scam.
During the proceeeding on Friday, ED's counsel Hiten Venegaonkar appealed to special PMLA court judge Salman Azmee to take cognisance of the chargesheet and issue non-bailable warrants against Nirav and the other accused, including those from his family.
The court said it would pass its order on June 12.
Nirav is said to have left the country before criminal cases were lodged against him.
