Ranchi (Jharkhand) | May 4, 2024 7:30:04 PM IST
A Special PMLA Court in Ranchi on Saturday reserved its verdict on the bail plea of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren in a land scam case.

The court will give its verdict on May 10. On Saturday, both parties filed written replies.

Soren's criminal writ petition challenging his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate was dismissed by the High Court here on Friday.

The court had reserved the decision in the case on February 28.

Earlier, the Supreme Court issued a notice to the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Soren's plea seeking interim relief in a money laundering case.

Earlier, Soren sought an urgent hearing on the grounds of the ongoing Lok Sabha poll.

In February, the High Court reserved its decision on Soren's plea challenging his arrest. Soren, in his plea, has claimed that his arrest was unwarranted and his remand in the matter was arbitrary and illegal.

Hemant Soren, who has filed the petition through advocate Pragya Baghel, called his arrest illegal and malafide.

After prolonged speculation in the media and a hide-and-seek drama, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) chairperson was arrested by the ED in the land scam case in January. (ANI)
