Mumbai’s PMLA court rejected Enforcement Directorate’s plea seeking a stay on the execution of bail order to Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut . As per reports, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut and co-accused Pravin Raut will be released.
After the plea was rejected, ED moved to Bombay High Court against bail order of main accused Sanjay Raut and Pravin Raut. As per reports, Sanjay Raut cannot leave the court premises till 4:30 pm as ED approached the Bombay High Court.
The PMLA court in Maharashtra capital Mumbai granted the bail to Sanjay Raut in connection with Patra Chawl land scam case.
Meanwhile, Additional Solicitor General had sought a stay on the execution of the bail order for a short period so that ED can appeal in a higher court against the order of Mumbai’s PMLA court.
The bail has been granted on a surety of Rs 2 lakh. For long, Raut alleged he was targeted due to ‘political vendetta’ and accused the government of ‘abuse of power’.
During the hearing, Attorney General Anil Singh demanded postponement of bail execution period granted to Sanjay Raut citing Anil Deshmukh’s case. Raut had been lodged in Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail.
Meanwhile, ED said it will be moving Bombay High Court against bail order of main accused Pravin Raut and Sanjay Raut if stay was not given by the court.Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut was arrested by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in July this year for alleged financial irregularities in connection with the redevelopment of the Patra Chawl in suburban Goregaon.
