2023 (10) TMI 1094 - HC - Money LaunderingSeeking grant of bail - bail sought on the ground of sickness - Money Laundering - HELD THAT:- The health report of the petitioner does not appear to be a medical condition which could be taken care only if he is released on bail. That apart, his past conduct, his present position as Minister without Portfolio and the abscondence of his brother Mr.Ashok Kumar, coupled with the attack on the Income Tax Officials, all cumulatively leads to an irresistible conclusion that, certainly, he will directly and indirectly influence or cause deterrence to witnesses, if released on bail. The non-cooperation of the co-accused Mr.Ashok Kumar, who is blood brother of the petitioner also justifies the apprehension of Enforcement Directorate that, there is flight risk causing impediment in progress of trial. This Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed.
