Supreme Court extends interim bail of former minister Nawab Malik for 6 months

The Supreme Court on Thursday extended by six months the interim bail granted to former Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik. Malik was first granted interim medical bail in August last year.

A bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Pankaj Mithal extended the bail for six months after Additional Solicitor General SV Raju appearing for the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said he had no objection if bail was extended.

Since August, Malik’s interim bail has been extended from time to time as he was undergoing treatment for kidney-related ailments.
