ED moves SC against Jharkhand HC order of bail to CM Hemant Soren

NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate has approached the Supreme Court against the Jharkhand High Court's order which granted bail to JMM leader and state Chief Minister, Hemant Soren in a money laundering case in connection with an alleged land scam.

The central agency filed the appeal in the apex court questioning validity of HC's June 28 order.

It claimed that the HC order granting bail to Soren was "illegal" and that HC erred in saying there was no prima facie case against Soren

In its order, the High Court's single judge bench of Justice Rongon Mukhopadhyay had ordered release of Soren, holding that the twin conditions under Section 45 of PMLA were satisfied.

Soren was in jail since he was arrested by the ED on January 31.

After his arrest, the JMM leader had resigned.

However, after the bail, he again took charge as Chief Minister of the state with administration of oath.

In its order, the High Court had said, "None of the registers/revenue records bare imprint of the direct involvement of the petitioner in the acquisition and possession of the said land. The consequence of the findings recorded by this court satisfies the condition as at Section 45 PMLA, 2002 to the effect that there is reason to believe that the petitioner is not guilty of the offence as alleged."
