Sanjay Raut is granted bail in the Patra Chawl Land Scam

Published

on

Sanjay Raut, the PMLA of the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), was granted bail on Wednesday by the PMLA Court in Mumbai in connection with a money laundering case involving the Rs 1034 crore Patra Chawl land scandal. A guarantee of Rs. 2 lakh was required to obtain the bail.

According to the sources, Raut, a Rajya Sabha member, and his co-accused, Pravin Raut, appeared before the court today. During the hearing, the Additional Solicitor General asked for a temporary halt to the bail decision’s implementation so that the ED may appeal the Mumbai PMLA court’s ruling to a higher court.

Only a one-week stay is all I’m asking for. A two to three day delay may also be granted by the court. We want to read the rules, and that takes time, said the Additional Solicitor General, according to a report. Sanjay Raut and Pravin Raut were granted bail, and the Enforcement Directorate stated that if the court did not grant a stay, it will appeal the bail decision to the Bombay High Court. Pravin Raut, another defendant in the case with Sanjay Raut, was also given bail.

Recent sources indicate that the prosecution’s request for a stay of the bail order was denied.

Before the detectives raided his home and questioned the leader, the ED had twice summoned him in connection with the case. The ED held the leader for additional interrogation on July 31 because he didn’t adequately react to the investigative team.

The Patra Chawl case is related to Mumbai’s Goregaon neighbourhood. It is a piece of property owned by the MHADA, also known as the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority. A scam worth around Rs 1034 crores exists. The case has resulted in the seizure of Sanjay Raut’s property worth 9 crore rupees and his wife Varsha’s property worth 2 crore rupees.

A real estate developer named Pravin Raut, who is also a co-accused in the case, is accused of defrauding residents in Patra Chawl. On this property, a construction company had been hired to build 3000 apartments. Of these, the residents of this area were to receive 672 flats. The remainder was supposed to be donated to MHADA, but in 2011, several portions of this large site were sold to other homebuilders. The initial chawl occupants have not yet gotten the units.

Notably, the investigation into the Maharashtra-based PMC Bank scam coincided with the crucial role that Pravin Raut and his business, Guru Ashish Construction Private Limited, played in the crime.

Sanjay Raut, a member of parliament, had already asserted that a fabricated case had been made against him due to political hatred. The leader’s full involvement in the money laundering case was established by the ED. At 3 p.m. today, a court will determine whether to postpone Sanjay and Pravin Raut’s arrest warrant.

Ingenuity will have a component where individuals will be able to hack even this, but right now, it is certain that only the rightful owner should receive what is being used without any form of theft. In order to accomplish the goals, good governance entails seeking out the necessary tools ” she explained.
