The first summon was issued on November 1, in which ED had asked Hemant Soren to appear on November 3, but later three weeks' time was sought from the Chief Minister citing official engagement.
"It was not proper for the High Court to entertain a PIL which is based on mere allegations and half-baked truth that too at the hands of a person who has not been able to fully satisfy his credentials and has come to the Court with unclean hands," the court said.
The UPA workers held the demonstration to lodge their protest against alleged misuse of central agencies including against Hemant Soren government in Jharkhand.
SC on Monday held that the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed in Jharkhand High Court for the Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe against Soren is not maintainable.
Soren's lawyer had forwarded the same request earlier too which was denied by the election commission of India citing that this is a communication between two constitutional institutions which cannot be shared with anyone else.
ED had sent a notice to Chief Minister Soren and he was asked to come to the zonal office of the agency today to answer queries of the agency. But Sorem did not turn up and sent a time petition to the federal agency.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was summoned by ED on Thursday for investigation over contravention of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 and in a money laundering probe linked to an illegal mining case in the Sahebganj district.
