The Bombay High Court on Friday directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to reply to former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh’s bail application in a money laundering case against him.
A single Bench of Justice Anuja Prabhudessai directed the Central agency to file its reply in a week and adjourned the matter to April 8.
Mr. Deshmukh was arrested by the ED on November 1 after being questioned for 12 hours and is currently lodged at Arthur Road Jail. On December 29, the ED filed a supplementary chargesheet before court against Mr. Deshmukh and his two sons.
