HC granted bail in a money laundering case where the accused was charged with signing fabricated invoices while serving as Dean of Covid Centers. Despite ED's arrest under PMLA, the court found insufficient prima facie evidence linking the accused to proceeds of crime. Key factors influencing bail: accused's cooperation during investigation, completed prosecution complaint, 1.5+ years of incarceration, unlikelihood of immediate trial commencement, and position-related allegations no longer relevant due to temporary role. The court emphasized that continued detention would violate Article 21 rights guaranteeing speedy trial and personal liberty. Bail granted subject to conditions, noting documentary evidence nature of case minimizes tampering risks.
