The Supreme Court has confirmed its earlier order granting interim bail to journalist Mahesh Langa in a money laundering case linked to an alleged financial fraud lodged by the Enforcement Directorate at Ahmedabad.
The top court had granted the interim bail to Langa on December 15 last year and fixed the case for further hearing on April 10.
The bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi took note of the submissions of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and said the interim order is confirmed.
The bench agreed to the contention of Mehta that the observations made in the bail order shall not be construed as remarks on merits of the case.
Langa was arrested by the ED in February 2025 in connection with a money-laundering investigation linked to an alleged financial fraud.
The money laundering case against Langa stems from two FIRs filed by the Ahmedabad Police on charges of fraud, criminal misappropriation, criminal breach of trust, cheating and causing wrongful loss of lakhs of rupees to certain people.
