SC seeks ED response on bail plea by ex-Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren
said that it will be open to Jharkhand High Court to deliver its judgement on the former Chief Minister Sorem’s plea challenging his arrest in an alleged money laundering case.
The Supreme Court on Thursday said real estate baron Gopal Ansal will undergo one year in jail in connection with the Uphaar fire tragedy which killed 59 people.
Co-accused Sushil Ansal was let off with the sentence he has already undergone citing his old age and ailments. The Ansals co-owned the Uphaar cinema in south Delhi.
Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Kurian Joseph partially modified an earlier verdict that said the Ansal brothers would be let off by paying Rs.30 crore each, with the jail sentence already served.
