“No Direct Involvement…”, Hemant Soren Gets Bail in Land Scam Case

Ranchi: Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was granted bail by the High Court in a land scam case, leading to his release from jail this morning. The court found that, prima facie, Soren is not guilty and is unlikely to commit another offense while on bail. His counsel, Arunabh Chowdhury, confirmed the bail was granted on a bond of ₹50,000 and two sureties of the same amount each. Soren, leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on January 31 on money laundering charges related to the acquisition of 8.86 acres of land in Ranchi. The court's decision followed earlier setbacks for Soren, including bail denials by both the Ranchi special court and the High Court, and the Supreme Court's refusal of interim bail. Soren has consistently denied the charges, accusing the ruling BJP of framing him to derail the opposition.

The case was brought by a former conservative radio host and hedge fund manager, George Jarkesy, following an SEC fraud investigation. An in-house evidentiary hearing fined Jarkesy $300,000, ordered him to pay back almost $700,000 in ill-gotten profits and barred him from the securities industry. Jarkesy argued that he was entitled to a jury trial held in a federal court and that Congress lacked the power to delegate such authority to the SEC.
