The petitioner, Prasanna Kumar Roy, was implicated in a money laundering case by the Enforcement Directorate. The petitioner's counsel argued that the ED's decision to maintain two separate cases was mala fide and violated the principle of double jeopardy. The court considered the petitioner's application for bail in connection with ML Case No. 9 of 2024 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The petitioner had been in custody for nearly two years, and the trial had not commenced. The petitioner's counsel argued that further detention was not warranted, given the maximum sentence prescribed under the PMLA and the fact that all relevant properties had already been attached.
