Today, the Supreme Court has extended the interim bail granted earlier to former Delhi minister Satyendar Kumar Jain in a money laundering case till November 6 when his plea for regular bail will be taken up for hearing.
A bench of justices A S Bopanna and Bela M Trivedi had taken note of the mentioning of the plea by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Jain.
“List the matter on 06th November, 2023 at 3 pm before the bench comprising Justice A S Bopanna and Justice Bela M Trivedi. In the meanwhile, the interim bail, granted earlier, is extended till the next date of hearing...,”
Before that, the Supreme court had extended Satyendar Kumar Jain's temporary bail until October 9, and had emphasized that he should not exploit the ongoing proceedings as an excuse to prolong the trial in the case.
The Enforcement Directorate has alleged that the AAP leader sought numerous adjournments in the trial court by citing the pending status of his bail application in the apex court as a reason. The probe agency further claims that Jain has requested as many as 16 adjournment dates from the trial court.
Jain, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate last year in May and granted interim bail for medical reasons earlier this year, received confirmation from the court that this interim relief would continue until the next hearing.
A bench comprising Justices AS Bopanna and Bela M Trivedi was hearing his plea, which contested the Delhi High Court's decision to deny him bail in April.
