Regular bail in money-laundering proceedings follows prolonged custody, prior incarceration, unframed charges, and unlikely early trial completion.

Regular bail in the money-laundering matter was considered appropriate because the alleged transactions dated to 2013-2014, the petitioners had already undergone substantial incarceration in connected predicate-offence cases, and they had remained in custody in the present matter for over sixteen months. Although a prosecution complaint had been filed, charges had not been framed and early completion of the trial was unlikely. The note states that the petitioners were entitled to be enlarged on bail.
