The Supreme Court will today hear the bail plea of ​​former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren. The delay in delivering the judgment on the petition by the High Court was appealed in the Supreme Court. He also challenged his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the money laundering case. A two-judge bench comprising Justice Sanjeev Khanna and Dipankar Dutta will today hear the plea of The JMM.
I got a shock from Ranchi Special PMLA Court
Earlier, on April 27, Soren suffered a shock. The Special PMLA Court in Ranchi refused to grant him interim bail in a land scam case. Let us tell you, Ram Soran, father of Hemant Soran and brother of JMM supremo Shibu Soran, died on Saturday morning. He was ill for a long time. Soren asked the court for temporary bail for 13 days to attend his uncle’s funeral. However, during the hearing, the court refused to grant him bail.
ED was given a week’s time
Let us tell you that Mant Soren was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on January 31st. He is accused of money laundering in a land fraud case. The former CM is currently in judicial custody in Birsa Munda Jail in Ranchi. In this case, the ED will be given one more week from the High Court to respond to Soren’s bail application.
The investigation is related to 8.86 dunams of land in Ranchi
The investigation against Soren refers to an area of ​​8.86 dunams in Ranchi. ED claims he was caught illegally. The agency filed a charge sheet in the PMLA Special Court here on March 30 against Soran, Prasad, Soran’s alleged “front” Raj Kumar Pahan and Hilarias Kachhap and former prime minister Binod Singh’s alleged aide. Soran filed a bail application before a special court in Ranchi, alleging that his arrest was politically motivated and part of a planned conspiracy to force him to join the BJP.
