Delhi HC allows Ashneer Grover, Madhuri Jain to travel to US separately

The Delhi High Court on May 22 allowed BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover, his wife, Madhuri Jain Grover, a former HR director at the payments firm to travel to the United States of America (USA) separately for their children's summer school.

Justice Subramonium Prasad, who heard the case indicated that he will pass a detailed order on May 24 once the Economic Offences Wing (EOW)  comes back with the conditions for the couple to travel abroad.

As per what transpired in the court Grover will travel to the USA on May 26 and return to India on June 14. Jain will travel on June 15 and return on July 1. During the course of the hearing, the court urged the EOW to be reasonable with such requests and not contest it unless there is a clear apprehension of flight risk.

Earlier, the EoW objected to the plea, saying the couple had properties abroad and were a flight risk. The investigation against them was at an advanced and a crucial stage, it said. The couple, especially Madhuri was not cooperating in the investigation. EOW had also claimed that they had found suspicious transactions worth crores.
