The Court on November 13 had refused to quash the FIR filed by EOW against Dalmia, the chief promoter of the cigarette manufacturer Golden Tobacco Company, and had directed him to appear before EOW.
Indiabulls Financial Services, which had lent Rs 225 crore to Dalmiya group companies, has filed a complaint against Dalmia and others, alleging cheating.
After the value of shares offered as security by the Dalmia group went down during recession, the group offered additional security worth Rs 70 crore in the shape of property in Mehrouli near Delhi.
But Indiabulls Financial Services later allegedly found out that this property was in somebody else"s name. So, it filed an FIR against Dalmia and others.
Last week, Division bench of Justices J N Patel and Amjed Sayed rejected Dalmia"s plea to quash the FIR, saying that court would not like to interfere in the probe. But the Court directed that EOW must give 72 hours" notice to Sanjay Dalmia if it wants to arrest him.
