    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mumbai, Aug 5 <\/strong>- A apecial court here issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against former IPL chairman Lalit Modi on Wednesday for his alleged involvement in a money-laundering case registered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last month, the ED has moved the Special court seeking issue of arrest warrant for investigating the case against the business tycoon and cricket manager.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite repeated attempts, Modi&#39;s lawyers did not respond to calls and SMSes on his reaction in the matter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When the matter came up before the court on Tuesday, Special Judge P.R. Bhavake wanted to know from the ED how an arrest warrant could be issued without a charge-sheet being filed in the case and whether the court had powers to do so.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ED counsel H. Venegaonkar submitted that under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the cases follow a different format compared to the regular criminal cases.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Besides, the lawyer contended that since the case was in the pre-investigation stage, the Special Court has the jurisdiction to issue the NBW.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the issue of the NBW, Modi faces arrest upon return to India and also the possibility of a Red Corner Notice if he fails to turn up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ED approached the Special Court after Modi - currently residing in London since 2010 - failed to respond to its summons last month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ED had filed the case against Modi in 2012 under the PMLA in connection with a mega-deal for IPL telecast rights.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ED action followed a case lodged by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in Chennai against Modi and others pertaining to the same matter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(IANS)<\/p>\r\n",
