New Delhi, March 1(Reporter) A Delhi Special Court on Friday dismissed the anticipatory bail application of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan in connection with a Money Laundering case registered under the provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) with the allegations of irregularities in the recruitment of staff and leasing of properties for the Delhi Waqf Board. Special Judge for MPs/MLAs cases Rakesh Syal after hearing te arguments on behalf of Prosecution and Defence Counsel dismissed the anticipatory bail application of Khan and said, "Considering the material available on record and the facts and circumstances of the case, when seen from the standard of broad probabilities, at this stage, there appears to be no reasonable grounds for believing that the applicant is not guilty of the offence under the Act or that he is not likely to commit any offence while on bail. Accordingly, his application u/s 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail is dismissed". The court observed, "Any observation made herein before shall not have any bearing on the merits of the case". Counsel for Khan submitted on the bail application that the case of ED is based on the two FIRs registered by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). He submitted that two FIRs cannot be registered for the same cause of action. The Counsel further requested for granting the bail by submitting that there is no evidence on record to prove that Khan was guilty of generating proceeds of crime. Counsel submitted that there has been no loss to the exchequer for the creation of tenancies of the properties of the Delhi Waqf Board and there are no material on record to show that bribes were paid for securing jobs with the Delhi Waqf Board or salaries were drawn without doing any work. Counsel for ED opposed the anticipatory bail application by submitting that Khan has evaded repeated summons issued to him. He further submitted that if bail granted there is apprehension of evidence tampering, influencing witness and absconding. In this matter, ED initiated its investigation on the basis of the CBI case registered in 2016, which accused Khan of illegally appointing various people to the Delhi Waqf Board against non-sanctioned and non-existent vacancies, which caused financial loss to the Delhi Government and illegal gains to himself. ED has alleged that Khan has laundered his illegal gains by purchasing immovable properties through his associates...////...
