Supreme Court extends NCP leader Nawab Malik's bail by six months
The Hindu
The Supreme Court extended by six months the interim bail of former Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik in a money laundering case.
The Supreme Court on January 11 extended by six months the interim bail of former Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik in a money laundering case.
A Bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Pankaj Mithal extended the medical bail granted to Mr. Malik after Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju, appearing for the Enforcement Directorate, said the probe agency has no objection to it.
On October 12 last year, the top court extended by three months the interim bail of Mr. Malik in the case.
Mr. Malik had moved the top court against the Bombay High Court's July 13, 2023, order denying him bail on medical grounds in the case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The top court had earlier noted that Mr. Malik is suffering from kidney ailment and his condition has not improved since August 11 last year when he was granted interim bail for two months.
The ED had arrested Mr. Malik in February 2022 in the case allegedly linked to the activities of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his associates.
Mr. Malik had sought relief from the high court, claiming he was suffering from a chronic kidney disease apart from various other ailments. He also sought bail on merit.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
