Jharkhand High Court delivers a split verdict on the 2013 Maoist attack that killed SP Amarjit Balihar and five policemen. One judge acquits the accused, the other confirms their death sentence.
Yesterday, 3rd July, The Enforcement Directorate (ED) plans to challenge the Jharkhand High Court’s decision to grant bail to former Chief Minister Hemant Soren. The ED argues that the court’s belief in Soren’s innocence is mistaken and that he does not meet the requirements of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Soren’s legal battles have drawn widespread attention. The appeal’s outcome could significantly impact his political career and legal processes in Jharkhand.
