MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court on Tuesday granted bail to former Maharashtra dwelling minister Anil Deshmukh in an alleged cash laundering case. Justice N J Jamadar pronounced the order.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had directed the HC to listen to and resolve the NCP chief’s plea expeditiously because it was pending for six months.
His legal professionals Vikram Chaudhari and Aniket Nikam argued that contemplating his age (72), well being and the truth that he had no prison antecedents he must be granted bail.
Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh, showing for the Enforcement Directorate (ED), opposed the applying arguing that Deshmukh didn’t endure from any illnesses that can’t be handled on the jail hospital.
Arrested by the ED in November 2021, Deshmukh is now in judicial custody.
The ED booked him after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered a corruption case in opposition to him following allegations made by former Mumbai Police commissioner Param Bir Singh.
The ED claimed that Deshmukh misused his official place and picked up Rs 4.7 crore from varied bars and eating places in Mumbai.
The ill-gotten cash was channelled to Nagpur-based Shri Sai Shikshan Sansthan, an academic belief managed by his household, it alleged.
