A special court on Monday adjourned the hearing on a bail application moved by senior NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal, who was arrested in a money-laundering case in connection with the alleged Maharashtra Sadan scam, till Tuesday.
The Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court Special Judge PR Bhavke directed the prosecution to file its reply on Bhujbal’s application tomorrow.
Meanwhile, another accused in the case, Asif Balwa moved the court, seeking cancellation of a non-bailable warrant issued against him and anticipatory bail. “Balwa moved the court, seeking pre-arrest bail and cancellation of a non-bailable warrant issued against him,” said his lawyer Pranav Badeka.
He said both the applications will be heard on May 12. The court had issued NBW against Balwa, Bhujbal’s son Pankaj and other accused on April 27.
