SC Adjourns Journalist's Money-Laundering Case Hearing
The Supreme Court has postponed the hearing of a journalist named Mahesh Langa's case involving money-laundering to April 7.
The court had earlier given him temporary bail in December and set some conditions, like not writing about his case in the media.
The journalist was first arrested last October for a GST fraud case and then again in February for the money-laundering case.
The court wants to ensure the trial goes smoothly and the Enforcement Directorate has time to prepare.
The charges in the case haven't been officially decided yet, and the ED has listed nine witnesses.
The case is connected to some financial frauds reported in Ahmedabad.
