Delhi Excise Policy: HC Extends Interim Bail of Businessman Amit Arora till Aug 30

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday extended the interim bail of accused businessman Amit Arora in the Delhi Excise Policy case until August 30, considering his precarious health condition.

Amit Arora had filed a regular bail application seeking relief under the provision of Section 45 of the PMLA, as his bail was set to expire on August 21.

The court stated, “Till the next date of hearing i.e., 30.08.2024, the applicant/petitioner is granted interim bail on account of his precarious medical condition, upon his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 2,00,000/- and one surety of the like amount.”

Senior Advocate Vikas Pahwa, along with Advocate Prabhav Ralli, argued for interim bail on the grounds of Arora’s urgent need for hospitalization and his prolonged detention of approximately 16 months.

Recently, Arora’s counsel informed Justice Neena Bansal Krishna that he is suffering from life-threatening diseases. Medical records show that on August 16, Arora was brought to a clinic with symptoms including breathlessness, cough, dyspnoea on exertion, and fever. He was subsequently referred to a hospital, where he was advised to be admitted and given oxygen.

Arora had been out on interim bail since August 12, following an order by a special judge under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED), in November 2022, arrested Amit Arora in connection with the money laundering investigation related to the Delhi excise policy case. Arora, the director of Buddy Retail Private Limited based in Gurugram, has been named in the FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in this matter.
