SC refuses to intervene against bail to Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren

The federal agency moved the Supreme Court on July 8 against the Jharkhand high court’s decision to grant bail to Soren, arguing that the bail order was illegal and biased.

Hemant Soren resumed office as the Jharkhand chief minister on July 4, immediately after securing bail from the high court.

Soren was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on January 31. The Enforcement Directorate had told the court that he misused his position to acquire 8.86 acres of land in the state capital.
