A vacation bench led by Justice Dipankar Dutta is set to hear Soren's plea on Tuesday.

Campaigning for Congress in the constituencies of Rae Bareli and Amethi, where Rahul Gandhi is the candidate for Rae Bareli, Yadav highlighted the unity and enthusiasm of their joint rallies.

The central investigative agency had previously asserted that Kejriwal was “directly involved in the formulation” of the excise policy, which was allegedly designed to benefit the 'South Group.'

On May 3, the Jharkhand High Court dismissed Soren's plea, stating that the ED possessed substantial evidence, and Soren's arrest was justified.

The enforcement action unfolded on Monday, May 6, when the Enforcement Directorate conducted a raid at the residence of Jahangir Alam, the house help of Alamgir Alam’s personal secretary, Sanjeev Lal.

A bench comprising justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta issued the interim bail order, with a detailed ruling to follow.

Mr. Soren, who resigned as Jharkhand chief minister shortly before his arrest, has been in judicial custody at the Birsa Munda Central Jail in Ranchi since January 31.

However, the ED suggested that there were additional pertinent details yet to be disclosed. This underscores the ED's commitment to thorough and transparent legal proceedings in the pursuit of justice.

The developments surrounding the raids at the Rural Development Department Minister's OSD's office underscore the complexities and challenges inherent in combating financial wrongdoing.

Ultimately, the court granted the agencies four days to file their responses, emphasizing the need for expeditious proceedings. The CBI's counsel agreed to provide the reply by Monday, with the matter scheduled for the following Tuesday.
