Money Laundering Case: SC Extends Interim Bail of AAP Leader Satyendar Jain Till Sep 1

The Supreme Court on Friday extended the interim bail granted to AAP Leader and ex-Delhi Cabinet Minister Satyendar Jain till September 1 in a money laundering case being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate.

A bench comprising Justice AS Bopanna and Justice Justice M M Sundresh granted the extension after considering Jain’s medical report.

On July 24, the top court had previously extended Jain’s interim bail by five weeks. However, the Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, representing the ED, strongly opposed the further extension of the interim bail.

In May 26, the Supreme Court had granted Jain interim bail for six weeks on medical grounds, asserting that a citizen has the right to seek treatment of their choice in a private hospital at their own expense.

Last year, on May 30, the ED arrested Jain under allegations of money laundering through four companies supposedly linked to him. This arrest followed a CBI FIR registered against him in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Jain was granted regular bail by a trial court on September 6, 2019, in the case registered by the CBI.
