West Bengal Cash-For-Jobs Scam : Supreme Court Grants TMC Youth Leader Kuntal Ghosh Liberty To Approach HC For Bail In PMLA Case
The Supreme Court has directed Kuntal Ghosh, an accused in the West Bengal cash-for-jobs scam, to approach the High Court for relief. Ghosh had challenged the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) decision to seek a fresh bail hearing in his case. The Court observed that Ghosh should first exhaust his remedies before the High Court before approaching the Supreme Court. The case involves allegations of corruption and bribery in the recruitment process for government jobs in West Bengal. The ED has been investigating the scam and has arrested several individuals, including Ghosh. The Supreme Court’s direction emphasizes the importance of following the proper legal channels and procedures in seeking judicial relief. The outcome of Ghosh’s case could have broader implications for the ongoing investigation and prosecution of the cash-for-jobs scam.
