The Supreme Court today granted bail to Prem Prakash, an alleged associate of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, in a money laundering case. The court emphasized that bail is the rule and jail is the exception, even in cases under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. It also ruled on the inadmissibility of confessions made by an accused under PMLA to an investigating officer. The bench expressed concerns over the Enforcement Directorate’s ongoing investigation and criticized the filing of multiple chargesheets without completing the trial.
