<h1>Supreme Court Criticizes ED for Ignoring Legal Bail Exceptions for Women in Money Laundering Cases.</h1> The Supreme Court criticized the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for insisting on rigorous bail conditions for women in money laundering cases, despite a statutory exception. The case involved a government school teacher accused in a scam with the Shine City Group, which defrauded the public of Rs 800-1000 crore. The court granted her bail, highlighting that the ED's stance contradicted the law, which allows bail for women under certain conditions. The ED argued that stringent conditions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act should apply, but the court emphasized the legal exception for women, questioning the ED's understanding of the law.
