Special Judge Rakesh Syal of the Rouse Avenue Court has reserved the decision on the bail plea filed by former Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain. He is currently lodged in Tihar Jail in connection with a money laundering case. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has opposed Jain’s bail plea and requested its dismissal.
Jain recently sought default bail from the Delhi High Court, which is set to hear the matter on October 9. His lawyer argued that the ED’s investigation is incomplete. He claimed the trial court took cognizance of the charge sheet based on insufficient material, which he argued is not valid under the law.
The ED arrested Satyendra Jain in May 2022. He received interim bail on health grounds in May last year and remained on bail for ten months. However, the Supreme Court rejected his regular bail plea and ordered him to surrender. Following this order, Jain surrendered to Tihar Jail on March 18.
On July 27, 2022, the ED named Jain and six others, including his wife Poonam Jain, in a charge sheet. The accused also include four companies tied to the case. The CBI has filed a case against Jain for disproportionate assets acquired between 2015 and 2017.
The legal proceedings against Jain continue to unfold as he faces serious charges. The upcoming hearing on his default bail plea will further determine his legal options as the case progresses.
