Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the rejection of bail for the appellant under the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act, 2002, specifically citing Sections 3 and 4 of the Act. The Court emphasized that the seriousness of the charges, including those under Sections 420, 406, 409, 468, 471, and 120B of the IPC, warranted the denial of bail. The Court held that the High Court's decision was justified given the nature of the allegations and the potential for tampering with evidence.
