Case Law Details
Anil Vasantrao Deshmukh Vs State of Maharashtra (Bombay High Court)
Bombay High Court in a bail application relating to money laundering matter held that the material on record does indicate that the Applicant has been suffering from multiple ailments. Further, the Applicant appears to have roots in society. The possibility of fleeing away from justice seems remote. Accordingly, bail granted.
Facts- It is alleged that the Applicant has indulged in money laundering activities and created various assets in the name of his family members out of unaccounted money and that the applicant was, therefore, actively involved in generation and laundering of the proceeds of crime.
The Applicant allegedly laundered a sum of Rs.13.25 Crores since the year 2011, out of which Rs.2.f83 Crores during his tenure as Home Minister, which also comprised a sum of Rs.1.71 Crores, out of Rs.4.70 Crores collected from the Orchestra bar owners through Mr. Sachin Waze.
Conclusion- The material on record does indicate that the Applicant has been suffering from multiple ailments. He is 73 years of age. Few of the ailments may classified as de-generative. The medical reports/certificates also show that the Applicant is suffering from chronic ailments, as well. In the light of the material on record, it would be audacious to observe that the Applicant is not a sick person.
