Satyendar Jain Bail: Delhi Court Asks Arguments To Be Concluded By November 11

Satyendra Jain was arrested by the ED in the money laundering case on May 30. He has been in jail since then.

A Delhi court has yet again deferred the hearing of Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain's bail plea to November 7 in a money laundering case. While announcing the deferment, the court asked the concerned parties to conclude the arguments of the case by November 11. 

Earlier, the court postponed the hearing from October 28 to November 5 after the AAP leader's lawyer submitted before the court that if Satyendar Jain was not a minister, there would be no case. The court had further directed the Tihar Jail superindent to produce Satyendra Jain along with other accused, Vaibhav Jain and Ankush Jain, through video conferencing on the next date of hearing.

The bail plea of Satyendar Jain was earlier scheduled for hearing on October 31. However, special judge Vikas Dhull advanced the plea to October 28 on an application moved by the accused. Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court had earlier granted bail to Poonam Jain, wife of Satyendra Jain, in connection with the money laundering case on August 23. 

Satyendar Jain was arrested by the ED in the money laundering case on May 30. He has been in jail since then. ED had initiated the money laundering case against Satyendar Jain, Poonam Jain, Ajit Prasad Jain, Sunil Kumar Jain, Vaibhav Jain, and Ankush Jain based on an FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in August 2017. A year later, CBI filed a chargesheet in the matter.

ED had also conducted searches at the property of Satyendar Jain and his aides on June 6 and had claimed to have seized Rs 2.8 crore cash and 133 gold coins weighing 1.80 kg. The Enforcement Directorate had said in a statement that those raided "either directly or indirectly assisted (the minister) or participated in the process of money laundering".

The statement further read that the cash and coins were "unexplained" and were kept in a "secret" place. Various incriminating documents and digital records were also recovered.
