Hindustan TimesMUMBAI: A special PMLA court on Friday rejected the bail plea of Ramchand Issrani, a 64-year-old businessman from Gujarat, who was arrested in a money laundering case for allegedly cheating Union Bank of India. Bail refused for Kutch businessman who caused 150cr loss to bank In 2021, CBI had booked him for misappropriating funds and cheating Union Bank of India, for which the trial will take place in Gujrat High Court. Pointing out how Manoharlal Agicha, one of the co-accused, was granted bail by the Bombay high court, his lawyers said his arrest was discriminatory as Agicha was charge-sheeted without arrest. “Considering the fact that Hon’ble Gujarat High Court has stayed trial of predicate offence at the instance of the applicant/accused then it does not lie in the mouth of the applicant/accused to say that, because of stay granted by the Hon’ble Gujarat High Court, there is delay in trial in this matter and therefore, he be released on bail,” observed the court, stating that he was not entitled to bail.
