Satyendra Jain
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to respond to a plea by jailed former minister Satyendar Jain seeking default bail in a money laundering case.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma issued a notice to the ED and requested a status report on the matter.
The court also called for Jain’s nominal roll from the jail and scheduled the next hearing for July 9.
Jain is accused of laundering money through four companies allegedly linked to him. He has challenged a trial court’s May 15 order denying him default bail in the case.
Jain argues that the ED did not complete its investigation within the statutory period and filed an incomplete prosecution complaint (charge sheet) to prevent him from obtaining default bail under Section 167(2) of the CrPC.
The ED arrested Jain on May 30, 2022, in connection with a money laundering case stemming from a CBI FIR filed against him in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act. He was granted regular bail by a trial court on September 6, 2019, in the CBI case. (With inputs from PTI)
