The Supreme Court is slated to hear on July 29 the plea filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) challenging the Jharkhand High Court’s decision to grant bail to JMM leader Hemant Soren in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam.
As per the cause list published on the website of the apex court, a bench of Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan will take up the matter for hearing on July 29.
The Jharkhand High Court had granted Soren regular bail on June 28 with certain conditions. The ED has filed a special leave petition before the apex court, seeking that Soren’s bail be cancelled.
Just a week after his release from jail, Soren had taken oath as Jharkhand Chief Minister for the third time on July 4. He was arrested by the ED on January 31 and spent five months in jail before being released on bail.
