Supreme Court extends interim bail of former Delhi Minister Satyendar Kumar Jain in money laundering case till Jan 8.
The Supreme Court on December 14 extended till January 8 the interim bail granted to former Delhi Minister Satyendar Kumar Jain in a money laundering case.
The Supreme Couret is seized of a petition filed by Mr. Jain challenging the April 6 order of the Delhi High Court dismissing his bail application in the case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
A Bench of Justices Bela M. Trivedi and S.C. Sharma granted the relief to Mr. Jain after noting that he suffered a fracture in the leg on December 9.
"Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, we are inclined to extend interim order," the Bench said.
Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju opposed the prayer claiming he was not cooperating in the investigation.
Mr. Jain, who had moved the top court for bail, is currently on interim bail on health grounds.
The Suprem Court had on May 26 granted the former Delhi Minister interim bail on medical grounds for six weeks and it is being extended from time to time.
