HC granted bail in a money laundering case where the accused was charged with misappropriating funds through fraudulent food packet delivery contracts. The accused, incarcerated for over one year, was granted relief considering: no chargesheet filed in predicate offense, trial unlikely to commence soon in both scheduled and PMLA offenses, and full cooperation during investigation. Court applied recent SC precedent in Manish Sisodia case regarding Section 45 PMLA rigors being inapplicable in cases of trial delay. Bail granted with conditions, noting that continued detention would infringe Article 21 rights to speedy trial and personal liberty, particularly as the accused's previous influential position no longer poses risk of evidence tampering.
