Actor Jacqueline Fernandez was on Tuesday granted bail on a personal bond of ₹2 lakh by a Delhi court in the ₹200-crore money laundering case involving conman Sukesh Chandrashekar.
On 11 November, special judge Shailendra Malik had said the order was not ready and extended the interim protection granted to Fernandez, a Sri Lankan national, till Tuesday.
The court on Thursday had reserved its order after hearing arguments from lawyers appearing for the actor as well as the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
“You can’t have a pick-and-choose policy. There must be reasons for not arresting (an accused),” the court remarked.
Fernandez, who was summoned by the ED several times in connection with the investigation, was named as an accused for the first time in the supplementary charge sheet.
The documents, however, had mentioned the details of the statements recorded by Fernandez and fellow actor Nora Fatehi.
