<h1>Former minister appeals to relax bail conditions in money-laundering case; investigating agency asked to respond within 10 days</h1> The Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal by a former state minister seeking relaxation of two bail conditions in a money-laundering case and issued notice to the federal investigating agency, seeking its response within 10 days and listing the matter for further hearing. The applicant seeks modification of requirements to mark attendance twice weekly at the agency's local office and to appear monthly before investigating officers, and of a condition requiring regular court appearances. The agency opposed, citing risk of influencing witnesses. The court declined to revisit the court-appearance condition immediately but asked the agency to address the necessity of in-person attendance given that a charge sheet has been filed; earlier bail had been granted subject to stringent conditions including bonds, surrender of passport and a prohibition on contacting witnesses.
