Jharkhand HC reserves order on Hemant Soren's plea in Bargaain land fraud case
RANCHI: The Jharkhand High Court on Wednesday reserved its order on Chief Minister Hemant Soren's petition challenging a lower court order rejecting his discharge plea in the alleged 8.86-acre Bargaain land fraud case.
Soren's interim application sought a stay on the special PMLA court's June 8 order dismissing his discharge petition and a stay on the ongoing criminal proceedings until September 19.
The special PMLA court in Ranchi had held that a prima facie case existed against Soren based on the Enforcement Directorate's submissions and rejected his discharge plea.
