Supreme Court Grants Bail To TMC Leader Anubrata Mondal, Says Trial Unlikely To Commence Soon; Will Remain In Jail In ED Case

The Supreme Court granted bail to Anubrata Mondal, a leader of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), in a case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The Court noted that the trial in the matter is unlikely to commence soon. Although Mondal will remain in jail, the bail decision reflects the Court's view that continued detention was not necessary given the anticipated delays in the trial process. Mondal's case involves allegations related to money laundering, but the Court emphasized the procedural delays in the judicial system as a factor in granting bail.
