The Supreme Court set aside a Patna High Court order that quashed a cheque dishonour complaint, holding that the High Court wrongly conducted a “roving enquiry” at the pre-trial stage. The apex court restored the complaint, saying a prima facie case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act was made out.
Today(on 29th July), the Supreme Court will hear the Enforcement Directorate’s appeal against the Jharkhand High Court’s bail grant to Chief Minister Hemant Soren in a money laundering case linked to a land scam. The case has drawn attention due to its high-profile nature and serious allegations. Soren maintains his innocence. The hearing will be conducted by a bench of two justices.
