MUMBAI, Oct. 9 -- A special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court on Tuesday granted bail to activist-lawyer Satish Uke and his elder brother Pradip in the money-laundering case registered against them by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a land-grabbing case. Special judge R B Rote granted bail to the brothers primarily on the ground of their long pre-trial incarceration. "As the accused have undergone the detention of the minimum sentence of imprisonment as well as more than one half of the maximum period of imprisonment (seven years) specified for the offence punishable under Section 4 of the PMLA, they are entitled for grant of bail," the court said. The ED registered an ECIR against the Uke brothers in February 2022 on the basis of two alleged land-grabbing cases registered against them in Nagpur and arrested them on March 31, 2022. One of the cases was registered on January 23, 2022, based on a complaint lodged by Mohammad Jaffar, nephew of the late Mohammed Samad, who alleged that the Uke brothers had usurped their five-acre land at Bokhara in Nagpur by creating fake documents. The second FIR registered on July 31, 2018, is based on a complaint by Shobharani Nalode, secretary of the Aishwari Sahakari Grih Nirman Sanstha, alleging that the brothers had usurped the society's 1.5-acre land at Babulkheda in Nagpur. Before his arrest, Uke was in the news after he filed a petition against CM Fadnavis, seeking initiation of criminal proceedings against him for the alleged "non-disclosure" of criminal cases in his 2014 election affidavit. He alleged that Fadnavis hid two criminal cases registered against him in 1996 and 1998....
