The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Enforcement Directorate's plea challenging the grant of anticipatory bail to Anup Majee, a director of a private firm, in a money laundering case linked to alleged illegal coal excavation and pilferage.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta, and Vijay Bishnoi issued a notice to Majee, seeking his response on the ED's plea, after Additional Solicitor General S V Raju argued that Majee was the 'kingpin' of the scam and had been absconding for a considerable time.
The ED has challenged the Delhi High Court's order granting Majee anticipatory bail in the money laundering case registered in 2020. The high court had passed the order on an application filed by Majee seeking anticipatory bail.
The bench posted the matter for hearing in September and issued a notice on the ED's plea.
