In Ranchi, the Jharkhand High Court made a decision on Friday that caught the attention of many. They granted former Chief Minister Hemant Soren bail in a money laundering case that was linked to a land scam. This decision came after the high court had reserved their ruling on Soren's bail plea on June 13.
According to Soren's senior counsel Arunabh Chowdhury, the court found that he was not guilty of the offence and that there was no likelihood of him committing another offence while out on bail. This was a huge relief for Soren, who is also the executive president of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha. He was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on January 31 as part of their investigation into the money laundering case. Currently, the 48-year-old politician is being held at Birsa Munda jail.
During the hearing, the ED's counsel SV Raju argued that if Soren was released on bail, he would be at risk of committing a similar offence. However, the court did not find this argument convincing enough to deny Soren bail. This decision is seen as a victory for Soren and his supporters, who have been eagerly awaiting his release.
The case against Soren has been ongoing for some time now, and this bail grant has provided some respite for him. It is yet to be seen how this development will affect the case and its outcome. However, for now, Soren can breathe a sigh of relief as he awaits his release from jail.
