Order on Swapna’s plea on Monday
The Hindu
She had expressed desire to return to Thiruvananthapuram
The Ernakulam Principal District and Sessions Court will pass its orders on Monday on the plea of Swapna Suresh, one of the accused in the diplomatic channel gold smuggling case, to relax her bail conditions in the prevention of money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Swapna had approached the court to relax her bail condition that she shall not leave Ernakulam. The petitioner submitted that she was a permanent resident of Thiruvananthapuram and wanted to go back, said Sooraj T. Elanjikkal, her lawyer.
The ED, which had earlier submitted before the court that it had no objections in relaxing the bail conditions, had suggested that she shall not leave the State without the prior permission of the court.
