The court said that economic offences are considered to be grave, especially when public money is involved.
A Delhi court has denied bail to Sunil Godhwani, former chairman and managing director of Religare Enterprises Limited (REL), in a case related to alleged misappropriation of funds, noting the seriousness of allegations, loan amount involved and his role in the transactions.
The court said that economic offences are considered to be grave, especially when public money is involved and courts have to be careful in granting bail in such cases.
According to prosecution, Godhwani and others had put Religare Finvest Limited (RFL), a group firm of REL, in poor financial condition by disbursing loans to entities having no financial standing. Those entities then allegedly willfully defaulted in repayments and caused wrongful loss to RFL to the tune of ₹2,397 crores.
