Today, the Top Court agreed to hear a plea on Friday challenging 15 days of interim bail granted to Raghav Magunta, son of YSR Congress Party MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, by the Delhi High Court.

A vacation bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Rajesh Bindal took note of the submission by Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, appearing for the ED, who sought an urgent hearing.

Solicitor General S V Raju submitted that the regular bail has been rejected and interim bail on grounds of the wife's sickness has also been denied.

“Now suddenly mother-in-law slips in the bathroom and she is under observation. There is nothing serious. His father is an MP who can look after her. Three siblings are there to take care and despite that the high court has granted bail,” he said while seeking a stay of the order.

Yesterday, the high court granted interim bail to Magunta after taking note of the submission that his mother-in-law has been hospitalised.

Earlier, the Court refused to grant him interim bail, saying it cannot be ignored that the accused was being prosecuted for money laundering which is a serious economic offence.

Other family members of the accused can also take care of his wife, the court had said.

The top court said it will hear the matter on Friday.
