You can't claim parity with other ministers on bail: Supreme Court to Partha Chatterjee

The Supreme Court ruled that former West Bengal Minister Partha Chatterjee cannot claim parity with other ministers regarding bail. Chatterjee had been arrested in connection with a money laundering case, and his request for bail was denied based on the severity of the charges. The Court rejected his claim for special treatment, emphasizing that the seriousness of the allegations in corruption and money laundering cases must be taken into account when granting bail. This decision reiterates the Court’s stance on holding public officials accountable for criminal activities.
