Cong leader Shivakumar's bail plea on Tuesday

October 14, 2019 17:40

The Delhi High Court Monday said it would hear on Tuesday the bail plea of Karnataka Congress leader D K Shivakumar in a money-laundering case. Justice Suresh Kait, who was scheduled to hear the matter today, was told by the counsel for the Enforcement Directorate that it has filed a status report on Shivakumar's plea and an additional status report will be filed during the day.

The court listed the plea for hearing on Tuesday and asked the registry to place on record the additional status report once it is filed. Shivakumar, arrested in a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act by the ED, has approached the high court challenging the trial court's order denying him bail.

The high court had earlier issued notice to the probe agency, asking it to file a status report. In the high court, Shivakumar cited medical reason as one of the grounds for securing bail. The Congress leader has said in the plea that he is a seven-time MLA and not a flight risk. -- PTI
