Delhi High Court grants bail to former ADAG executive in ED case

The Delhi High Court has granted bail to Amitabh Jhunjhunwala, a former executive of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, in a case involving the Enforcement Directorate, The Hindu reports. The supplied material does not provide the date of the ruling, the bail conditions, the allegations in the case or the charges faced by Jhunjhunwala. It says the investigating agency opposed his plea.

The Enforcement Directorate argued that Jhunjhunwala did not meet the threshold of being “sick” or “infirm”. That objection indicates that the agency challenged the application on the basis described in the report, but the available material does not explain whether illness or age was central to the request, or identify the legal provision under which the plea was made. The court nevertheless granted bail.

No further reasoning from the judges is included in the supplied information, and there is no statement from Jhunjhunwala, his lawyers or the Enforcement Directorate beyond the agency’s opposition. The report therefore establishes the outcome of the bail application and the investigating agency’s stated objection, while leaving the wider facts of the ED case unspecified.
