A city court will pronounce on February 16 its order on the bail applications of five accused persons in a Delhi excise policy-related money laundering case.
Special Judge M K Nagpal, who was scheduled to pass order on the applications moved by the accused persons, adjourned the matter considering there were fresh arrests in the case, and said the proceedings in that regard consumed considerable time.
"The order on bail applications of the accused is under dictation and will take some more time to complete as some fresh arrests have been made by the ED in this ECIR and also in connected case of CBI consuming considerable time in remand proceedings and some other court matters are also to be looked after," the judge said, while posting the matter for February 16.
The five accused are currently in judicial custody.
