The special judge for Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) cases in Panchkula on Thursday dismissed an application for regular bail moved by Ireo MD Lalit Goyal in a PMLA case linked to Haryana ACB’s case involving former CBI judge Sudhir Parmar.
The detailed orders are yet to be uploaded. Special judge Rajeev Goyal dismissed the application during the 10th hearing. Goyal’s defence counsel had on July 20 moved an application for bail on medical grounds as well as alleging misuse of provisions by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
In the application, Lalit Goyal’s counsel had highlighted the poor health of their client besides challenging the provisions under which the ED had arrested him. During the course of hearing, the court sought Goyal’s medical records, along with the report by the jail superintendent and advice of a medical practitioner.
Special prosecutor for ED Lokesh Narang opposed the bail and brought on record the terms and conditions and orders of the Punjab and Haryana high court in which Lalit Goyal had been granted the bail in an old PMLA case. The prosecutor said that the accused had allegedly re-indulged in the same crime after getting bail.
