Money Laundering Case: Supreme Court Adjourns Nawab Malik’s Plea For Bail

The Supreme Court adjourned the hearing on former Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik’s plea against a Bombay High Court order on Monday, that denied him bail on medical grounds in connection with a money laundering case being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The bench, comprising Justices Aniruddha Bose and Bela M Trivedi, postponed the matter due to the unavailability of senior advocate Kapil Sibal, who is representing the NCP leader.

Nawab Malik was arrested by the ED in February 2022 for his alleged involvement in a case linked to the activities of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his associates. Currently, Malik is in judicial custody and is undergoing treatment in a private hospital in Mumbai.

Earlier, on July 13, the High Court had rejected Malik’s plea for bail on medical grounds. He had claimed to suffer from a chronic kidney disease along with other ailments and had also sought bail on merit. The High Court deferred hearing the bail plea on merit until after two weeks.

The ED’s case against Nawab Malik is based on an FIR filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against Dawood Ibrahim, designated as a global terrorist and a key accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts, and his associates under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The matter will now be heard at a later date once Kapil Sibal becomes available to present Malik’s case before the Supreme Court.
