New Delhi: ED appeal against bail to D K Shivakumar - SC quashes plea


Daijiworld Media Network - New Delhi (MS)

New Delhi, Nov 15: The plea that was submitted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to the Supreme Court questioning the bail granted to D K Shivakumar by the Delhi high court was quashed on Friday.

The contention by Tushar Mehta, the solicitor general that Rs 12 crore of laundered money was found with D K Shivakumar was rejected by the SC.

Justice R F Nariman and S Ravindra Bhat, the SC bench which looked into this appeal said, "This is the not the way you treat citizens of this country." The court took a strong view on Section 45 of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) being resurrected. This was contested by lawyers appearing for Shivakumar, A M Singhvi and Mukul Rohatgi. This was when they said that the investigating agency has resurrected the stringent Section 45, which was quashed way back in 2017 for being violating the right of a person's liberty.

In 2017, a Supreme Court bench by Justice Nariman had struck down section 45 of PMLA calling it a drastic provision. Section 5 states that no accused can be granted bail unless prosecutor gets an opportunity to oppose and if the prosecutor chooses to oppose it, the court has to be convinced that he was not guilty of the crime.

    God The Father warns not become a banana republic nation to US also!

    November 1, 2019
    Public


    Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: "Today, I come to make clear some facts that Satan has covered in his confusion. Evil has taken charge of the liberal political party in your nation.* In so doing, it has made humanitarian issues into political footballs. You have one party that has genuine concern for the welfare of the people. The other is motivated by outside forces, political power and ambition. This nation is My tool in the world and must not be reduced to what you call a 'banana republic'.** Such a nation as that, tosses leaders in and out of office at the mere whims of a few."

    "I have saved this nation throughout history, holding her above deceit and hidden agendas - bringing her to victory over foreign enemies - making of her a sign of Truth amidst confusion. All of this - all of My Divine intervention - is under attack now by those in the government and outside of this nation whose desire is to weaken this nation, making her vulnerable to world influences and less independent. The ultimate goal is the One World Government. This war is in hearts but is more crucial than any military conflict. I must continue speaking here*** to bring light into the fog of confusion which is attempting to settle upon My nation of Truth."

    "I urge you then to be united in Me - in My Will. Make this, once again, one nation under Me. Renounce all who oppose this. Recognize the direction your current President**** is leading you. Unite behind him."

    * U.S.A.
    ** A derogatory term for a politically unstable country that is poor, corrupt, and badly ruled, and has an economy dominated by foreign interest.
    *** The apparition site of Maranatha Spring and Shrine.
    **** President Donald J. Trump.
