Former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren, who has been in jail, filed a petition before the high court, seeking bail.
Soren, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on January 31 in connection with a money-laundering case linked to an alleged land scam, on Monday requested the Jharkhand High Court for an early hearing of the matter.
His petition has been listed for hearing on Tuesday before the bench of Justice Rongon Mukhopadhyay.
Soren pleaded before the court that his name does not figure in any of the documents about 8.5 acres of land in the Bargain circle and no offence under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act is made out against him.
