New -Delhi, May 29 (IANS). The Supreme Court has granted a conditional interim bail to approximately a dozen accused, including Chhattisgarh cadder IAS officer Ranu Sahu and former chief minister Bhupesh Baghel, Saumya Chaurasia, who was accused in Chhattisgarh Mining Levy. IAS officer Ranu Sahu has been in the Mining Scam case in judicial detention since his arrest in October 2024. While the remaining accused has been in jail for a long time. In the Supreme Court, a Bank of Justices Suryakant and Dipankar Dutta granted conditional interim bail on the grounds that the trial would probably last for a long time. The Supreme Court gave interim bail to the accused, and the Supreme Court ordered that the accused not remain in Chhattisgarh to further orders. Where necessary, everyone will be present before the court. They will also need to provide information on their residence at the police station in question. In addition, the Supreme Court said that if the accused was directly or indirectly influenced by the Witnesses, it would be regarded as an interim bail abuse. The court ordered the requester to immediately serve their passport to the lower court if they were released on interim bail. In addition, the accused will have to work together on the investigation. However, the ED and CBI opposed the interim bail pleader and said that these people were impressive and could affect witnesses. During the hearing, the Supreme Court also said that we were also satisfied that the property acquired by the accused woman was very large. We know that some of these 2-3 IAs have many assets, these officers can affect witnesses. Therefore, these conditions are set. Despite getting bail, the accused will not yet be able to get out of jail, because in the second case registered in Eow, everyone will have to stay in jail. The ACB began an investigation into the alleged coal fraud in Chhattisgarh for illegal collection of Rs 500 crore, after which a case of money laundering was registered. The rules for recovery have been changed. The amount obtained from this levy was obtained by movable and immovable properties, including many Benami. Suryakant Tiwari, IAS Sameer Bishnoi, Ias Ranu Sahu, Soumya Chaurasia and others were arrested in this case. -Ians gkt/ share this story tags
