Enforcement Directorate challenges Jharkhand High Court's bail decision for JMM leader Hemant Soren in a money laundering case.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has challenged the Jharkhand High Court's decision to grant bail to JMM leader Hemant Soren, who was sworn in as Jharkhand Chief Minister, in a money laundering case related to a land scam. The ED has filed a petition in the Supreme Court, seeking that Soren's bail be cancelled. The High Court had granted Soren regular bail on June 28 with certain conditions, and Soren was released from jail after five months. The ED argues that the High Court erred by not considering direct evidence against Soren and that the court's order is unlawful and prejudiced.
