Special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on Tuesday rejected former Home Minister of Maharashtra Anil Deshmukh’s default bail in corruption case against him.
Special judge RN Rokade rejected the bail. Mr Deshmukh, 71, currently lodged at Arthur Road Jail filed for statutory bail on the grounds that no cognizance was taken by the PMLA court of the chargesheet by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The plea filed by advocate Aniket Nikam on January 4 which states, “Mr Deshmukh is incarcerated since November 2, when he was remanded to custody. Excluding the date of first remand, a period of 60 days has since elapsed. As he is offering to accept his bail bonds, there is an embargo in continuing his further remand as per of the Code of Criminal Procedure.”
