Delhi court grants two-week interim bail to Al-Falah chairman Jawed Siddiqui in money laundering case

Delhi court grants two-week interim bail to Al-Falah chairman Jawed Siddiqui, allowing him to care for his ailing wife.

A Delhi court Saturday (March 7, 2026) granted two weeks’ interim bail to Al-Falah group chairman Jawed Siddiqui in a money laundering case to allow him to take care of his wife who is undergoing treatment for stage 4 ovarian cancer.

Additional Sessions Judge Sheetal Chaudhary Pradhan granted the relief to Siddiqui, noting that his wife was undergoing chemotherapy and required support during the treatment.

“After considering all the present facts and circumstances, I am of the considered view that applicant/ accused deserves to be enlarged on interim bail as the wife of applicant/ accused is unwell,” the court said in its order.

It noted that Siddiqui’s wife was undergoing chemotherapy at a Delhi hospital and that the medical documents placed on record were not disputed by the Enforcement Directorate.

It also observed that the couple’s three children were studying in the UAE and were unable to travel to India, leaving the woman without immediate family support.

“The wife of accused/ applicant requires care and support, cannot be ignored and it is also a fact that she does not have her family or children besides her and it is only the accused/ applicant being her husband who is required to give her support,” the court said.
