Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was arrested in January by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case.
The Supreme Court on Friday disposed of the petition of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren seeking interim bail to campaign for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
The Supreme Court said that Mr Soren's interim bail petition should be taken up along with the petition declaring his arrest in a money laundering case as "illegal", due for hearing on Monday.
The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader was arrested in January by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam. He had moved the Supreme Court against the Jharkhand High Court order dismissing his application challenging his arrest by the ED and denied bail to him.
