Senior Advocate Vikram Chaudhari, and Advocate Aniket Nikam appearing for Deshmukh contended that since both cases are connected, and since Deshmukh was granted bail in the ED case, he ought to be granted bail in the CBI case.
Chaudhari contended that Deshmukah has spent over a year incarcerated, for allegedly committing an offence which was punishable upto 7 years imprisonment.
Chaudhari also informed the Court that the controversial former Mumbai cop Sachin Waze had been made an approver in CBI’s case.
However, the High Court had raised doubts over the veracity of Waze’s statements while granting bail to Deshmukh in the ED case.
