<h1>Special leave petition dismissed against grant of bail in PMLA money-laundering case after detailed review and strict conditions</h1> <h3>DIRECTORATE OF ENFORCEMENT Versus WASIM SIDDIQUI BAWLA & ANR.</h3> DIRECTORATE OF ENFORCEMENT Versus WASIM SIDDIQUI BAWLA & ANR. - TMI Summary: The High Court Single Judge granted bail to the respondent in a serious-offence matter, after an 'elaborate consideration of the material,' and imposed 'stringent conditions.' One factor influencing bail was that the principal accused was already at liberty, which the Single Judge treated as weighing in favour of bail - stating that 'the petitioner was entitled to grant of bail.' On appeal, counsel challenged that exercise of discretion as erroneous. The Supreme Court reviewed the reasoning and found the High Court's exercise of discretion to be 'fair and proper,' concluding that 'no case is made out for interference with the discretion exercised by the learned Single Judge of the High Court.' Accordingly, the special leave petition was dismissed and pending applications disposed of. The decision thus affirms deference to a trial-court bail determination where its reasoning and conditions are supported by the record.
