The Supreme Court on June 21 refused an urgent hearing on an Enforcement Directorate plea challenging the Delhi High Court's order granting interim bail on medical grounds to liquor businessman Sameer Mahendru in a money laundering case related to alleged irregularities in the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.
The matter was mentioned before a Vacation Bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice M.M. Sundresh with Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the ED, seeking an urgent hearing.
"Somebody has been granted bail... People are languishing in jails," the Bench said.
