Senior advocate N. Hariharan, representing Satyendar Jain, said there are no “proceeds of crime” in the case and it is based only on “notional basis”
The Delhi High Court on Thursday sought the stand of the Enforcement Directorate on a plea by jailed AAP minister Satyendar Jain seeking bail in a money laundering case lodged by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma issued notice on Mr. Jain's bail plea and granted two weeks' time to the investigating agency to file its status report.
Senior advocate N. Hariharan, representing the minister, said there are no “proceeds of crime” in the case and it is based only on “notional basis”.
“There are no proceeds of crime in the case. No proceeds of crime were generated. As far as the predicate offence is concerned, no predicate offence was committed. It is all based on a notional basis,” he said.
Advocate Zoheb Hossain, who appeared on behalf of the ED, sought time to file a status report in response to the bail plea.
Mr. Jain has sought bail in relation to the ED's case registered on September 30, 2017 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), and said in his plea that he is neither in a position to influence witnesses or tamper with evidence nor he is a flight risk.
Further, as the charge sheet has already been filed, there is no requirement to continue his incarceration in the present case, he has asserted.

For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
