The Bombay High Court on Tuesday granted interim relief to Nationalist Congress Party leader Eknath Khadse’s wife Mandakini from arrest till April 25 in a 2016 case related to an alleged dubious land deal in Pune.
A single bench of justice Anuja Prabhudessai was hearing a plea filed by Mrs. Khadse, 62, on October 13 seeking pre–arrest bail. She is charged with several Sections of Money Laundering and Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian Penal Code.
Her plea filed by advocate Mohan Tekavde said she is a senior citizen and listed a number of medical conditions she suffers from. The plea mentions that this was the only case against her and she had been cooperating with the investigation appearing before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) 15 times.
