Delhi ki Patiala House Courts mein additional sessions judge Amit Bansal ne I-PAC co-founder Vinesh Kumar Chandel ko money laundering case mein regular bail de di hai. Yeh case alleged coal pilferage investigation se linked hai.
Hindustan Times ke mutabiq, court ne yeh bhi noted ki ED ko bail ka oppose karne ka mauka diya gaya tha, lekin agency ne aisa nahi kiya.
Kya hai poora mamla?
ED ne Chandel ko Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) ke under arrest kiya tha. Iske baad unhone court mein bail ke liye application di. 23 April ko court ne ED ko notice jari kiya aur unka response manga tha. Lekin 28 April ko unki medical grounds par interim bail application reject ho gayi thi.
ANI ke mutabiq, Chandel ne court mein bail ke liye tab approach kiya jab unki ED custody khatam hone wali thi. Hearing 29 April ko rakhhi gayi thi.
Court ka kya tha observation?
Judge Amit Bansal ne yeh point kiya ki ED ko bail ka oppose karne ka pura mauka diya gaya tha. Lekin ED ne court mein aisa koi objection nahi rakha. Isliye court ne Chandel ko regular bail de di.
Big News Network ke mutabiq, I-PAC ek political consulting group hai jo elections mein parties ki madad karta hai. Chandel uske co-founder hain.
Hamaari Baat: Bail ka matlab kya hai?
Seedha baat karein toh, court ka yeh decision dikhata hai ki jab investigating agency khud bail ka oppose nahi karti, toh court ke paas bail dene ke alawa koi option nahi bachta. ED ka Chandel ke bail ka oppose na karna — yeh ek important point hai. Iska matlab yeh nahi ki case khatam ho gaya. Regular bail ka matlab hai ki accused ab jail mein nahi rahega, lekin case court mein chalega. Chandel ke liye yeh ek raahat hai, kyunki unki medical grounds par bhi pehle bail reject ho gayi thi. Ab woh case ki hearing ke dauran bahar rahenge.
