Money laundering: Four get bail after 1K days in jail

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: Four men facing trial in a money-laundering case arising out of an alleged Rs 1,137 crore cheating case were given bail by a CBI court in Chennai as they had faced incarceration for more than 1,000 days. In the October 29 order, principal judge for CBI cases T Malarvalantina cited the provision of Section 479 of BNSS which entitles a first-time offender to bail if he has been in jail for one-third of maximum period of punishment specified for the offence under the law. The case pertains to alleged money laundering by the accused after collecting Rs 1,137 crore from the public through their companies by announcing an investment scheme. The counsel vehemently opposed grant of bail citing subsection of Section 479 of BNSS arguing that it overrides subsection if inquiry, investigation or trial in multiple cases is pending against the accused.
