ED can't arrest after special court takes cognizance of PMLA complaint: Supreme Court
Thursday, 16 May 2024 The Supreme Court on Thursday held that the Enforcement Directorate cannot arrest an accused person after the special court has taken cognizance of the complaint. A bench of justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan also made it clear that if ED requires custody, then the probe agency can move the application before the concerned court and thereafter, the court can only grant custody once satisfied with the reasons that custodial interrogation is required.
Ranchi: Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was granted bail by the High Court in a land scam case, leading to his release from jail this morning. The court found that, prima facie, Soren is not guilty and is unlikely to commit another offense while on bail. His counsel, Arunabh Chowdhury, confirmed the bail was granted on a bond of ₹50,000 and two sureties of the same amount each. Soren, leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on January 31 on money laundering charges related to the acquisition of 8.86 acres of land in Ranchi. The court's decision followed earlier setbacks for Soren, including bail denials by both the Ranchi special court and the High Court, and the Supreme Court's refusal of interim bail. Soren has consistently denied the charges, accusing the ruling BJP of framing him to derail the opposition. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story

In a recent statement, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut discussed the leadership and future prospects of the INDIA alliance. On the question of Rahul Gandhi being the prime ministerial candidate, Raut expressed full support, stating, "If Rahul Gandhi is ready to accept the leadership, why would we object? He is a national leader and has proved himself. He is popular... We all love him. In the INDIA alliance, there is no difference of opinion on who will be the Prime Minister." Raut also addressed the current political landscape, criticising the BJP's performance. He mentioned that the BJP had secured only around 235-240 seats, falling short of a majority. He pointed out that the BJP's reliance on allies like Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar makes their government unstable, asserting, "If the NDA government is formed with the support of these two pillars... it can fall anytime." Raut claimed that the BJP has lost its respect and that the "Modi brand is finished." He attributed BJP's wins to the influence of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Income Tax (IT) department. Despite this, Raut acknowledged their democratic right to form a government but emphasized that the INDIA alliance, with its 250 seats, also has a mandate to govern. He concluded by questioning the loyalty of Naidu and Kumar to the BJP, suggesting they might choose to support democracy over dictatorship.
