Nawab Malik was arrested by the ED on the grounds that he had purchased property from Ibrahim lower than market value.
The Supreme Court today adjourned hearing of plea filed by NCP Leader and Former Cabinet Minister Nawab Malik in a PMLA case registered by the Enforcement Directorate against him.
Notably, a single judge bench of the Bombay High Court comprising Justice Anuja Prabhudesai yesterday rejected the medical bail plea filed by Malik.
ASG SV Raju, today told the top court that Malik's application for interim bail was heard and rejected yesterday. He added that the regular bail matter will be taken up after two weeks.
As the court was hearing Malik's plea against the adjournment sought by the High Court in June in the said medical bail plea, a bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna, Bela M Trivedi, and Ujjal Bhuyan observed that nothing was remaining in the plea.
As an adjournment was sought on behalf of Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, the bench told the counsel before it to file a fresh plea challenging the High Court's recent decision to decline Malik medical bail.
When the counsel submitted that he was only instructed to seek an adjournment, the bench decided to take up the matter on coming Monday.
While rejecting the bail plea Justice Anuja Prabhudesai said that she will continue hearing the plea on merits after 2 weeks.
Malik had approached the high court after a Special PMLA Court had rejected his bail plea in December 2022.
The Enforcement Directorate had opposed the bail plea of Nawab Malik while arguing that Malik had connections with Haseena Parker and Salim Patel who are gang members of Dawood Ibrahim.
