The Supreme Court Today (Oct 3) gave bail to Chhattisgarh-based businessman Sunil Dammani, arrested by the ED in August last year in a money laundering case linked to the Mahadev illegal gambling app, and said it was doing so without getting into the merit of the allegations. A bench comprising Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra noted that Dammani has been in custody since August 23, 2023 and set aside the Chhattisgarh High Court order denying him bail.
The Supreme Court Today (Oct 1) agreed to hear on October 3 a bail plea of Chhattisgarh-based businessman Sunil Dammani, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in August last year in a money laundering case linked to the illegal gambling Mahadev app. “We usually do not skip the board (cases listed for hearing on a given day), but this is a bail plea… We will hear it on Thursday,” the CJI said after Damani’s lawyer said that his client has been in jail for over 13 months.
