The Supreme Court on Friday refused to intervene in a plea filed by Maharashtra Cabinet Minister and senior NCP leader Nawab Malik for his immediate release in a money laundering case.
“This is a very early stage. Interference by us would not be appropriate. You can apply for bail before the appropriate court,” a Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud told Mr. Malik’s lawyers.
The Minister had claimed that his arrest was illegal. The Bombay High Court had refused the plea.
