Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra of the Supreme Court on Thursday recused from hearing actor Jacqueline Fernandez's plea challenging a Delhi court order framing charges against her in the ₹200 crore money laundering case linked to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekar.

A Bench comprising Justice PK Mishra and Justice AS Chandurkar was hearing the matter when Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informed the Court that he was appearing for the respondent(ED).

At that stage, Justice Mithal observed that in a connected matter, his son had appeared for the government. "In a connected manner, my son appeared for the government. It has to go before a different Bench," Justice Mishra said.

The Bench accordingly directed that the matter be listed before another Bench in which Justice Mishra is not a member.

The case has now been posted for hearing on June 25.

Fernandez has approached the Supreme Court challenging the order of a Delhi court framing charges against her in the money laundering case investigated by the Enforcement Directorate. The prosecution alleges that she received gifts and benefits purchased from proceeds of crime generated by Chandrashekar through alleged extortion activities.
