The High Court denied the bail application of an individual involved in smuggling Red Sanders by falsely declaring consignments and using forged documents. The Enforcement Directorate's investigation revealed money laundering of Rs. 51.12 crores from 2014 to 2015. The court held that the ED can investigate continuing offenses, not limited to the date of the scheduled offense. Money laundering is not tied to the date of the predicate offense but to the involvement with proceeds of crime. The applicant failed to show grounds for bail, given past smuggling activities. The court dismissed the application, considering the severity of the offense, evidence collected, and the risk of witness interference.
