Supreme Court Grants Bail in Delhi Excise Policy Money Laundering Case; Highlights Judicial Balance on Accused's Rights.

The article examines a legal case involving money laundering allegations linked to irregularities in an excise policy by the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Initially, the High Court denied bail to an individual, a regional manager of a liquor company, accused of conspiracy and facilitating crime proceeds. The High Court's decision was based on the seriousness of the allegations and the stringent conditions under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. However, the Supreme Court later granted bail, considering the individual's prolonged incarceration, the absence of trial commencement, and the fact that he was not an accused in the CBI's charge sheet. This case highlights the judicial balance between charges' severity and the accused's rights.
