NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Monday granted bail to industrialist and Congress leader Naveen Jindal and 13 others, accused of money laundering in a case pertaining to alleged irregularities in allocation of a Jharkhand-based coal block.
The court, however, put various conditions on the accused, including that they will not leave the country without its prior permission and not influence the witnesses or hamper the probe.
Special Judge Bharat Parashar granted the relief to Jindal and others on a personal bond of Rs one lakh and one surety of the like amount after they appeared in court in pursuance to the summons issued to them on August 14.
During the hearing, Enforcement Directorate’s special public prosecutors — senior advocate R S Cheema and advocate N K Matta — opposed the bail application, saying the relief may hamper the investigation.
The court has now put up the matter for December 11 for scrutiny of documents. (AGENCIES)
