Millennium Post Delhi
|November 21, 2024
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday, while granting bail to Hari Om Rai, Managing Director of Lava International, in a money laundering case linked to Chinese smartphone maker Vivo, remarked that money laundering charges could not be equated with heinous offences such as murder, rape, or dacoity, which carry severe punishments like death or life imprisonment. Rai had been in custody since his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in October last year.

“Section 45 of the PMLA does not create an absolute prohibition on the grant of bail. When the trial is unlikely to conclude in a reasonable time and the accused is incarcerated for long, constitutional safeguards under Article 21 must prevail,” said Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri.
