Supreme Court to Hear AAP MLA Jaswant Singh Gajjan Majra's Plea in Money-Laundering Case

The Supreme Court will hear the plea of AAP MLA Jaswant Singh Gajjan Majra challenging his arrest and remand by the Enforcement Directorate in a money-laundering probe linked to a bank fraud. Previously, the top court and Punjab and Haryana High Court had denied interim bail and dismissed related pleas.

The Supreme Court is set to deliberate on the plea of AAP MLA Jaswant Singh Gajjan Majra, who is challenging his arrest and remand in connection with a money-laundering investigation tied to a bank fraud case.

A vacation bench comprising Justice CT Ravikumar and Justice Manoj Misra will likely preside over the matter. Previously, the Supreme Court denied interim bail, preventing Majra from campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections. The Punjab and Haryana High Court also dismissed his challenge to the arrest, citing no illegality in the process.

In May 2023, the CBI raided Majra's premises in connection with an alleged Rs 40 crore bank fraud. Earlier, in September 2022, the Enforcement Directorate had seized Rs 32 lakh in cash, mobile phones, and hard drives during raids related to the same case.
