The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had arrested Jain, who is accused of money laundering using the Hawala Channel, earlier on May 30.

Earlier on Monday, he was sent to judicial custody till June 27.

Senior advocate N. Hariharan on behalf of Jain had submitted that his client is in judicial after interrogation of 13 days. Any case of money laundering is not made out against him as the legal requirements are not fulfilled. He had also submitted there is no possibility of Jain running away.

Jain had appeared seven times before the Enforcement Directorate and his statements were recorded.

The senior counsel had also submitted that the land was purchased by the companies, adding those companies were not controlled by Jain as he had a very small share.

Additional Solicitor General (ASG) S V Raju on the other hand opposed the bail, saying the conduct of Jain as a public servant who indulged in money laundering did not make a case for granting him bail.

The Additional Solicitor General had submitted that Jain had not cooperated in the investigation.
