The Supreme Court on May 10 disposed off former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren's plea over the High Court's delay in pronouncing order on his petition challenging his arrest, noting that the petition has become infructuous because the order has been delivered. A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta said that Hemant Soren's plea over delay in pronouncing order on the former Jharkhand Chief Minister plea challenging arrest has become infructuous.
The apex court noted that Jharkhand High Court has recently delivered order on Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Soren's plea and rejected the petition challenging his arrest in the money laundering case.
The top court also noted that the former Jharkhand Chief Minister has challenged that order in the Supreme Court and said that Soren may raise all pleas and contentions in his another petition challenging the May 3, 2024 High Court order. The Jharkhand High Court in its May 3 order had rejected Soren's plea challenging arrest in money laundering case.
