Court adjourns matter for two weeks
The Bombay High Court on Friday said it would hear the bail plea of former Home Minister of Maharashtra Anil Deshmukh only on medical grounds, and adjourned the matter for two weeks.
A single Bench of justice P.D. Naik asked Mr. Deshmukh's advocates to produce medical records and details of all his ailments in the next hearing.
Mr. Deshmukh moved the court after the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act court rejected his bail on March 14 by holding that there was "prima facie proof to indicate that he had exercised undue influence over transfers and postings of police officers."
On April 7, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed an affidavit before High Court, stating that Mr. Deshmukh "misused his official position to amass wealth and was the mastermind and brain in all the money laundering activities. He exercised undue influence to pass favourable transfers and postings of police officials".
Mr. Deshmukh, who is in the CBI custody till April 11, was arrested by the ED in November 2021 on charges of money laundering.
The CBI stepped in after the High Court, on April 5, 2021, directed a preliminary inquiry against Mr. Deshmukh, 71, after former Commissioner of Police of Mumbai Param Bir Singh wrote a letter to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and made allegations that he gave orders to former police officer Sachin Vaze to collect ₹100 crore from bars and restaurants.
