New Delhi: The Supreme Court lashed out at the Jail Minister of Delhi's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, Satyendar Jain, who has been in jail for the last 6 months. In fact, Satyendar Jain had gone to the Supreme Court seeking an early hearing on the bail plea, on which on Monday (December 12, 2022) the lawyer appearing for Satyendar Jain told that we have not come here to decide the roster of the High Court. Along with this, the court flatly refused to consider a plea of Jain related to the money laundering case at the earliest.
Actually, Satyendar Jain had earlier approached the Delhi High Court for bail. There the High Court summoned a reply from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in this regard and they did not get any immediate relief. After this, Jain reached the Supreme Court and requested the Delhi High Court to ask for an early hearing. But, the Supreme Court rejected his petition outright and lashed out. Satyendar Jain's counsel Rahul Mehra told a bench of justices MR Shah and S Ravindra Bhat that the high court should be asked to take up the matter at the earliest as the vacations are about to begin.
On this, the court said that you come directly to the Supreme Court because you can afford to come here. The Supreme Court said, 'You can also request the High Court for an early hearing. We are not here to decide the roster of the High Court.' Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the ED, opposed Jain's plea for an early hearing and said that Jain cannot be given special immunity everywhere. Mehta said that many other people are also imprisoned in jails and want the case to be resolved at the earliest, but they are not able to approach the Supreme Court.
Explain that the Delhi High Court wanted to know the central agency's stand on Jain's bail plea in a money laundering case registered by the ED on December 1, 2022. Jain has sought bail in connection with the ED's case registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on September 30, 2017, saying in his plea that he is neither in a position to influence witnesses nor tamper with evidence. are in a position to do so. The next hearing in this matter will be done by the High Court on December 20, 2022.
