Manoj Ramesh Mehta vs State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision denying bail to the appellant, who was accused under Sections 120B, 255, 34, 109 of IPC and Sections 3(1)(ii), 3(2), 3(5), and 4 of the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crimes Act, 1999. The Court found that the appellant's involvement was not merely peripheral, as he was actively participating in the organized crime syndicate led by A.K.L. Telgi, particularly in managing court litigation and money laundering. The Court held that a prima facie case was established under Section 3(2) of the MCOC Act, justifying the denial of bail.
