💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court granted bail to Shashi Bala, a government school teacher accused in a money laundering case, criticizing the Enforcement Directorate for arguing that stringent bail conditions should apply to women despite a statutory exception in the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The court emphasized that such arguments would not be tolerated. Bala had been in custody since November 2023 and her trial was unlikely to conclude soon.
