The HC allowed the accused's bail application under the PMLA, finding trial delay and prolonged incarceration (~2½ years) satisfied the twin conditions for bail consideration. The accused is released on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.100,000 with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Special Judge, PMLA, Ranchi, in ECIR Case No.01 of 2023. Conditions: accused shall not tamper with evidence or threaten witnesses and must attend all court hearings unless legitimately exempted by the trial court. The court noted comparable co-accused had been granted bail and consequently found no countervailing reason to deny relief.
