Delhi HC dismisses jailed minister Satyendar Jain, two others' bail plea in PMLA case

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court dismissed Delhi's jailed Minister Satyendar Jain and two others' bail petitions in a money laundering case.

The bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma rejected the bail plea of Satyender Jain, Ankush Jain and Vaibhav Jain.

The bench while dismissing the Satyendar Jain bail plea stated that the applicant is an influential person and has the potential of tampering with evidence. Satyendar Jain/applicant, at this stage, can't be held to clear the twin conditions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The same bench had kept the order reserved on March 21 after the conclusion of the submissions made by the defence and prosecution sides after multiple hearings.

During arguments, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) SV Raju appeared for Enforcement Directorate contented that money laundering is crystal clear against Jain and other co-accused.
