Justice Bharati Dangre of the Bombay High Court on Thursday recused from hearing bail application filed by former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in the money laundering case registered against him..After the Special PMLA Court denied his default bail application, Deshmukh sought regular bail, which was also denied, resulting in the current petition before the High Court.Deshmukh has alleged in his petition that he is a victim of gross persecution and harassment at the hands of unscrupulous vested interests.According to the plea submitted by advocate Aniket Nikam, the ED already has some material.However, they have been arguing before every Court that the material is not enough to array Deshmukh as an accused. But at the same time, the agency has been contending that the material is sufficient for his arrest which was a dichotomous stand, the bail petition said..Deshmukh is the prime accused in an ED investigation, which began after the CBI filed a FIR in response to a Court-directed enquiry into charges of corruption and misuse of his official position. His plea will now be heard by a bench led by Justice SK Shinde.
